The FITS gift card program is a unique fundraiser for Corpus Christi School. Each year, the FITS program makes a significant contribution to defray the school’s operating expenses. FITS is crucial to Corpus Christi School because the cost of educating our children exceeds our per student tuition. As with tuition, the FITS program is part of your financial obligation to the school.
Each Corpus Christi School family with students in grades PreK-8 is required by School Board policy to raise a specific amount of money as noted on the tuition schedule. These profits must be raised through the purchase of FITS cards from May to April. If a family chooses not to participate, they may “Opt-Out” by writing a check for the specified amount made payable to “Corpus Christi School”, with “Opt-Out” written in the memo field or inform the office to have it done through the FACTS account.
The program works like this: The school purchases FITS gift cards and the cards are then sold to Corpus Christi School families. There is a large selection of vendors, ranging from local grocery stores and restaurants to department stores and national chains.
Please note that if your family’s obligation is $590, this does not mean that you need to purchase $590 worth of cards; it means that you must generate $590 in profits for the school.
Example: The Home Depot currently has a profit percentage of 4%. If you purchase a $50 gift card, $2.00 goes towards your annual obligation. If you buy a $300 card, $12.00 goes towards your obligation. The larger the profit percentage (and the larger the purchase), the more quickly you will accumulate your profits and meet your obligation.
Statements detailing the amount of profits you have earned can be obtained by contacting Corpus Christi Script program coordinator Ania Simpson: scrip@corpuschristischoolct.org
Families that have not met their financial commitment by April 28 will be billed any remaining balance by May 12. Payment is expected by May 26.
· If a family meets some, but not all, of their obligation by April 28 the remaining balance will be due by May 12.
If a family meets their obligation by March 24th and earns an additional amount, the additional amount will be credited to the last payment for tuition.
