What does the PTG (Parent Teacher Guild) do?
The objectives of PTG are to provide a network of volunteer services for the school, to generate financial support for the school, and to come together in a spirit of Christian friendship.

How can I participate in the PTG? 
Participation is easy and needed.  Simply attend the monthly meetings at 7:00 p.m at the school.   Everyone is welcome to participate.  The more participation, the more representation we have in keeping our school forward-moving.  Our goal is to be an organization of superior support. To have a topic placed on the agenda, please call the President or the Principal.

What is Mandatory Fundraising?
By participating in mandatory fundraising we help to keep the school tuition costs down. For a family with one child enrolled in school our obligation is $350, with two children it is $400, and for a family with three children it is $450. Each dollar we help raise goes directly to support the school budget.

Why Mandatory Fundraising?
Mandatory fundraising at Saint Joseph Catholic School is a means of keeping tuition costs at a minimum. Throughout each year we have several fundraising events to give us the opportunity to meet our family goal.  The PTG participates in helping organize the activities for the school year.  In order to meet our goal, all families participate in fundraising, and accept the responsibility to achieve this goal.  Fundraising also encourages families to become involved in their children's activities and provides opportunities for us to create and sustain a strong
school community, which creates a stronger family.

Where does the Mandatory Fundraising Money go?
All proceeds for the school fundraising go to the school and assist with the operational expenses of the school.

When does fundraising begin?
Fundraising begins with each school year. Why not use the fundraising events to help with your holiday, birthday, and social events of your year?  Plan ahead and help our school.
