and encouraged to actively support St. Ferdinand parish and its ministries through their contributions of time, treasure, and talent. The use of the Sunday envelopes is one way. The sharing of time and expertise in an area of need is another way to provide valuable services to the parish and the school. Opportunities to benefit the school are made available to school parents through activities of the Family-School Association, the School Board, the annual Parish Dance and Silent Auction Committee, the Athletic Committee, etc.. School parents are encouraged to attend and actively support all school functions and activities.
For each child enrolled in St. Ferdinand Parish School, we are able, by law, to request textbooks through the State of Illinois Board of Education. We can also request use of math, science, and reference materials from the State through various funded programs. Parents are eligible for the Transportation Reimbursement Fund as outlined by the State.
The annual school Track-a-Thon is a major school-sponsored fundraiser that are used to finance our athletic program and technology program and other resources for our school. All families are expected to participate in some way. One way to support this cause is to make pledges to students who are running. Volunteering on the day of the event is another way to participate.
Volunteers are valuable in a variety of ways within the school as room parents, aides in the office, library aides, classroom aides, coordinators of special events, organizers for fund raising events, volunteers with the sports programs, etc. We are appreciative of the time and talents volunteers share with us for they add a rich dimension to the school. The students greatly benefit from their involvement and generosity.
