St. Frances Cabrini School diligently works to offset the rising tuition costs by asking our families to donate their time and talents to the school. Fundraising is an essential activity that helps ensure our financial health and keep a Catholic education within the reach of our community’s families. Monies raised through these activities help the school fund salaries, programs, and supplies while maintaining affordable tuition rates.
Each family has pledged to participate in these fundraising activities at the indicated minimum levels as a St. Frances Cabrini school community member.
