Rel. Ed. Fundraiser
First Turn-in This Week-Delivery will be October 28/29
The two top selling families will each win a voucher for a free 12-inch jumbo chocolate chip cookie cake from The Cookie Company that may be decorated for any occasion! Our top seller sold 38 tubs last year. Can you beat that?!
What are we raising money for?
This past summer, the Rel. Ed. Department purchased new updated catechist manuals and student workbooks for Grades 1-8 at a cost of just over $16,000. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly towards our department to help cover some of the costs with the curriculum updates, catechist training and volunteer appreciation, and tuition assistance.
Please ask a few friends and family members if they would like to order any cookies to help us "raise some dough"!
The cookies will come in handy during upcoming family gatherings or during the holidays for a quick treat or a hostess gift.
