Each year, each family has 36 hours of service valued at $10 per hour and $300 in scrip “profit” as a part of tuition.  Many families exceed this amount, but to be on a comfortable schedule, at least a third of both should be completed at the close of the trimester on November 23.  Timely completion of the service hour and scrip obligation is an important part of the financial stability of Sacred Heart School.  The holidays bring added opportunities to purchase scrip for meals, travel, and gifts.  The December 13th Honors Reception, the classroom Christmas parties, time on the field with the students during the lunch recess, and donations for the Running Raffle coming after the first of the year all offer service hour opportunities.
