Volunteer Hours Program

Dear Mary Immaculate  Parents:

We have reached the mid-year point in our volunteer hours program, and I would like to share some results with you. While we have had some great success stories (over 1250 hours equaling almost $25000.00), we  are experiencing significant short falls.

Quite a few of you have not managed any hours so far, and we need your help. As you already know it costs approximately $8000.00 to educate your child. This is significantly higher than the tuition your paying which is why we have asked your help in offsetting the cost. If you can volunteer a minimum of 20 hours, that would equal $400.00 per family. We know that our parents work (some more than one job) in order to live in “paradise”, and therefore can’t volunteer. Here’s a suggestion which some parents have already done: Write a check for $400.00 and send it in!

Then there is the issue of those of you who are on extended tuition assistance. Some of you are working like wild bringing your balance down every month. This ,of course, is absolutely marvelous! However, there are some of you who have done nothing at all. Please be aware of the fact that this will factor in if you seek assistance next year.

It ‘s not too late to get your hours in. We have several large events planned for the coming months, which will require a great deal of help on your parts!!!

We’re all in this together in providing a solid Catholic education for your child. We’re just asking all of you for your help as we go into the second half of this year and plan to “keep the doors open” for next year!

There is a very important PTSA meeting this coming Thursday, February 25 at 6:00PM in the cafeteria to line up volunteers for the school carnival; a golden opportunity for you to get involved. I will be happy to discuss any part of this letter with you and to get you signed up.

Another big fund raiser for April is a benefit performance by Harry Schroeder and the Key West Jazz Collective, “Ellington Under the Stars”. Again, we need volunteers for ticket sales and crowd control.

 Sincerely yours in Education,

 Bro. Bud Luks, SM

MISS Carnival

HELLO PARENTS OF MARY IMMACULATE,

We are so excited about the upcoming Carnival on school grounds from March 11 – 14^th.  This is going to be a huge city-wide event and tremendous fundraiser for our school. 

We need your help in the following ways:

Pick up a poster in the school office and hang it at your business or a business where you think everyone in the city will see it.  We need to get the word out.

 Attend the PSTA meeting next Thursday February 23^rd at 6:00 for information about the Carnival and other important PTSA upcoming business. Child care available in the gym with Ms. Katie. $2 per child.

 Sign up to work the Carnival.  IT IS SO MUCH FUN.  The teachers in your child’s classroom will be assigning a room parent to coordinate your class participation.  WE NEED ALL PARENTS TO HELP WITH THIS EVENT.  It spans four days and there are many ways in which you can help out, from set-up, selling tickets, preparing and serving food to parking monitors, security and clean up.  There will also be sign-up sheets in the office at school.

 This carnival used to be a city-wide event and we now basically own it!  Never before have we had the opportunity to make so much money on a single event and it can only happen with your help.  AND THE KIDS LOVE BEING THERE…..ALL WEEKEND.  Let’s show this town who and what we at Mary Immaculate can do for our school and our community.  COME TO THE CARNIVAL.  HELP WITH THE CARNIVAL.
