New to Volunteering at FAW?
Partners in Faith
Be sure to read this month’s Partners in Faith newsletter to find ideas to use at home to build a Christ-centered family life. It is our hope that your knowledge about Catholicism will grow and that you will find valuable tips that are useful. We are proud to be your partners in faith!
Gift Card Program
One of the many things that has been enhanced this school year is our gift card program, RaiseRight, formerly known as ShopWithScrip.
Our goal this year is to encourage each FAW family to generate a minimum of $50 in rebates from RaiseRight which is super easy and convenient to do via the RaiseRight App! Once you have earned the $50 for FAW, any additional earnings generate a 25/75% split between FAW/You respectively. Your earnings can go towards next school year’s tuition or the 8th grade class trip.
To get started, simply download the RaiseRight App, or log into the website at https://www.raiseright.com/enroll. The enrollment code for FAW was emailed to families on August 28th. This unique code will tie your rebate earnings to our school. You are able to track your rebates in the App but there will also be a midyear report run and sent out to track your rebates as well.
Please be sure to read more information about the program on the FAW website under the "Events/Giving" Tab --> "Gift Card Program" https://fatherandrewwhite.org/gift-card-program/. If you have further questions after that you can email our RaiseRight Coordinator, Jessica Casto at FAW.scrip@gmail.com.
Substitute Teachers Needed!
We are looking for cheerful and positive parents and community members who would be available 7:30am - 2:45pm to substitute for teachers as needed throughout the year. Approved applicants who pass a criminal background check can use this for volunteer hours or to receive payment. If you are interested please contact Mrs. Szoch at principal@fatherandrewwhite.org for a substitute application and information about what days you would be available. For more information, please see our website: https://fatherandrewwhite.org/substitute/

New to You Uniforms
Did you know FAW parent volunteers offer a used uniform program at FAW? If you need uniforms or have uniforms to donate, we try to make it convenient for you! New-To-You Uniforms will be set up at school events making this program available more frequently and on a first-come-first-find basis. Pass on this blessing to others by donating your child’s used uniforms (unstained & washed, please). Donating is easy – bring uniforms with you to school events, drop off right at the New-To-You Uniform Tables or in the “Used Uniform” basket right in the school’s vestibule. This is an amazing program FAW offers to all families at no cost. Save money, practice good stewardship, pass along blessings, prevent textile waste, the list of benefits is endless.
Does your FAW middle-school student need service hours? We would love to help your student(s) sign up to work New-To-You Uniform tables at school events. Students will sort incoming uniforms and provide parent support in filling uniform requests. It’s a great opportunity to grow social skills, serve others, provide proactive facilitation, and practice professional conversation. Please contact Sheli Laney sheli.laney@live.com or Melanie Chadwick Chadwickmm207@yahoo.com if your child would like to volunteer for any upcoming school event in which the used uniform program will be present.
