SCRIP

Restaurant Nights
- St. Vincent de Paul Women’s Guild offers several different opportunities for families to support our school through restaurant fundraisers. Usually these are one night events where the restaurant will give us a percentage of the meal ticket in support of our school. Some places require vouchers, others do not. This is another easy way for many people to support St. Vincent de Paul School!

Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is to bridge the gap between the actual cost of educating our students and the income we receive from tuition. Without the Annual Fund we would not be able to keep the annual increase in tuition to a minimum. Gifts made through the “School Envelope” support the Annual Fund.
Scholarships
At St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School, we believe that financial limitations should not be a barrier to families desiring to provide their children with a Catholic education. Scholarships are currently given to families in financial need through the interest obtained from the Endowment Fund. Unfortunately, the need is greater than the funds available.
You can support an existing scholarship fund or create your own. If you are interested in creating a scholarship, please contact the Parish Office.
If you would like to donate to our Endowment Fund please use the monthly envelope marked “Endowment Fund” that is distributed through the Parish.
Technology
St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School is committed to providing a technologically advanced education. Gifts to support technology at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School would purchase items such as
- Robotics for STEM Lab
- 3-Dimentional and Virtual Technology
- Student Chromebooks
- Interactive Whiteboards
- Additional Faculty training
If you have a good or service that you would like to donate to the School or Parish, please contact the School Office. Examples include: construction material, computers, instructional equipment, printing costs, items for fundraisers, sports equipment, facility maintenance materials, marketing, fundraising, or development expertise, etc.
We rely on the dedication and service of our parish families. Volunteers are an important part of our school. If you are interested in volunteering your time, please contact the School.
