Parent Teacher Group (PTG)
The primary responsibility for Resurrection School’s Parent Teacher Group (PTG) is to foster the relationship between home and school so that parents and teachers may cooperate in the development of the whole child. The PTG hosts several social events a year and 4 major fundraisers, all designed to bring families together to build community and to support the school.
Why Do We Fundraise?
The true cost to educate a child at most schools exceeds the tuition rate in private schools or what the state provides on a per student basis in the public schools. As a result, parents are stepping in to fill the void in an effort to keep tuition rates affordable for all families of our community. Every family is asked to fundraise $600 through our fundraising programs.
Major 4 Fundraisers
More than 75% of PTG fundraising proceeds go directly to the school to help offset operating expenses and minimize tuition increases. The remaining funds are used for facility improvements, enrichment programs and classroom activities.
Our four major fundraisers account for approximately 90% of our PTG budget. Resurrection School families have several fundraisers they may choose to participate in to meet their $600 family fundraising requirement.
Holiday Sale: 50% of the profit is applied towards your family fundraising requirement
Walk-A-Fun: 100% of all profit is applied towards your family fundraising requirement
Scrip: 1.5-25% of electronic scrip based upon the merchant is applied towards your family fundraising requirement
Spring Fundraiser: 75% of the purchase price of the item donated, 75% of all purchases, and 100% of sponsorships are applied towards your family fundraising requirement
Social Events
Our social events are meant to foster a sense of community and fun for Resurrection School and parish. Family participation in the social events is optional. The social events usually contribute a small amount to the overall PTG budget.

Volunteering
Community is one of Resurrection School’s biggest strengths. Whether it’s helping with a social event, chairing a fundraiser, serving hot lunch, helping out those in need, shelving books in the library, or donating supplies to one of our social events – it all adds up to being part of our community.
Families are asked to volunteer twenty (20) hours per year to support the school. All new families receive a 5 hour credit their first year at Resurrection School, and single parent families (where only one parent is responsible for tuition) also receive a 5 hour credit towards their volunteer hours every year.
