Fundraising
In
these times of ever-increasing costs, the School Advisory Committee recognized
and is meeting a need to focus specifically on increasing revenue sources for
Saint Bernard School to help stabilize tuition increases and preserve the
quality of Catholic Education. With this, the Fundraising Subcommittee has
been created to play a vital role in funding the operations of the school. The
goal of the committee is to generate a steady, reliable income stream through
fundraising activities to assist with the financial support of the school.
Included below is a list or projects either being researched or produced
currently by the committee. If you have any expertise in any of the
following areas or are just interested in becoming involved in this challenging
and exciting committee, please contact Mr. Wagner, Principal at 412-341-5444.
