Fundraising at St. Charles
Fundraising is a fact of life in Catholic schools and a special way of building community. Families are asked to assume an active role in fundraisers. Our fundraisers include the Family Fun Day, Spring Gala, Campbell's and General Mills Box Tops for Education promotions. We continue to look for fundraising activities that are not a burden to our families and students.
Highlighted on this page are our major fund-raisers.
Throughout the course of the year other projects may be
undertaken by the school as a whole or by individual
classes to meet specific needs. Your support is always
greatly appreciated.
The Family Fun Day has two goals: to raise funds for the
PTO budget and to host an event that can be enjoyed by
the entire family, especially the children.
The variety of arts and crafts booths, children's
activities, food, and live stage entertainment attract
many people each year. The book sale, bake sale, and
Haunted House are also featured.
Spring Gala
Each
year the look may be a little bit different but the
purpose is always the same: to break out of the late
winter/early spring doldrums and have fun while
benefiting our school. This event includes both a Silent
and Live auction, games of chance, raffles, dinner and
dancing.

Marsh Fresh Idea
This program allows the school to earn awards points related to the amount spent shopping at both Marsh and O'Malia grocery stores. Each time your cash saving card is scanned the school receives points. You can register both cards at the www.marsh.net web site. As you register, you will need to enter the school's number: 29120. You will be asked to enter the 14 digit number on your Marsh or O'Malia cash saving card. You do not need to re-register each year. Alternatively, there are forms at school that can be used to record this information and the school's coordinator can enter the numbers for you. Ask friends, neighbors and relatives to also sign up to help St. Charles School.

Labels for Education
UPCs from a variety of Campbell's, Bic, Post cereal and PopSecret popcorn products add up to provide brand new educational equipment for our school. You may send the UPCs to school with your children or drop them off in the school office. More information can be viewed at the labelsforeducation.com web site. Use the FIND YOUR SCHOOL option to see a teacher wish list and comments from the school's coordinator. Have friends, neighbors and relatives save the UPCs too.
Box Tops for Education
General Mills and Betty Crocker boxtops with the label 'Boxtops
for Education' serve as a fund-raiser for our Media
Center and Computer Lab. Boxtops can be sent in with
your child or dropped off in the Media Center or school
office.
Book Fairs
Two Scholastic Book Fairs are held each year, one in
October and the second in April. Books are reasonably
priced and all proceeds benefit the Media Center.
