Aina Katsikas, Reporter

Proceeds of the current Christmas Gift Card Fundraiser, sponsored by the Parent Organization, will go towards capital campus improvements.

Students and parents are invited to purchase gift cards through the Academy, proceeds of which will go towards campus renovations such as the outdoor court, entry and sitting areas.

At least 10 percent of each card purchase will be donated to the Academy. The donation varies depending on the store; some stores are giving more than 10 percent.

Forms are available on Edline at http://www2.sacredhearts.org/docs/pbgc14.pdf. They can be completed and given to students’ homeroom teachers.

Checks should be made out to the Sacred Hearts Academy SHARP Parent Organization. Credit cards will also be accepted.

The first deadline is Oct. 15. The second and third rounds will be collected on Nov. 5 and Nov. 26.

“There will be a drop box at the high school and lower school offices to turn in completed forms with payment. The lower school girls can send back their completed form and payment to their teachers,” said Mikel Raphael, chair of the Gift Card Fundraiser.
