EWE Drawing will be on October 31st

 

The EWE Draw is a fundraiser by which the school generates revenue necessary to run various programs and is the only mandatory fundraiser at St. Mary's High School.  This fundraiser directly benefits financial aid and student activities; therefore, students must support the EWE Draw for it to be successful. 

Green Ewe  

The EWE Draw fundraiser drive is held in the fall, and all students are required to participate

 

Those students who do not fully participate in the fundraiser will be assessed the difference between the amount each student is asked to sell and the amount actually sold.  For example, each student is required to sell $80.00 worth of tickets.  If they sell only 20 fundraiser tickets at $2.00 each, they would raise $40.00 towards the fundraiser.  This student would then be assessed a one time charge of $40.00 to offset the required $80.00 amount.

 

In the event all tickets are not sold, balances due will be billed through the FACTS tuition system.

 

If your student's tickets and/or money is not turned in by the day prior to the drawing, you will be charged $100.

 

Refusal to participate in the EWE Draw and other fundraisers may result in the denial of scholarships and financial aid.
