17. PARENT SERVICE/FUNDRAISNG HOURS

17.1 Here at La Salle, as with all other Catholic schools, families are required to participate in school fundraising events, as well as volunteer at fundraisers and other school related activities. As families participate in fundraisers and volunteer their time and talent, two things are accomplished: Families get to know one another, which builds a sense of school community and school pride, and monies are raised to help bridge the gap between what each family is charged for tuition, and what the true cost is to educate each student. La Salle High School of Yakima encourages parents/guardians to participate in the life of the school to enhance the experience of their student(s) and to foster community spirit.

Fundraising/volunteer requirements are as follows:

1) Each family is expected to contribute a minimum of 30 hours of service per school year.

2) Volunteer hours served must include time spent working directly on fundraising

activities, (i.e. Suds and Sliders, Wreath Sales, St. Patrick’s Day Gala, Golf

Tournament, Concessions, Gate/Ticket Sales, etc.) Families will NOT be

allowed to earn all parent volunteer hours by transporting student athletes to athletic events.

3) Most volunteer opportunities will be available for sign-up on

SignUp.com or through the main office 225-2990

4) Contributions of goods approved by the school administration may be accepted

for service hour credits upon approval. A maximum of ten hours will be awarded for donations.

5) For those parents/guardians who choose not to/or are unable to volunteer the

required number of hours, a charge of $30 per hour for every hour not worked

will be charged at the end of the school year. Any billed service hours, which

are unpaid, are subject to a $25 late charge every month until paid.
