Sally Foster has changed its progam this year.
As a fundraiser, our students are selling Sally Foster "gift cards" that can be redeemed online at the Sally Foster website. The gift cards are $20 each. As an alternative, customers can still go online (without a gift card) and make purchases using any major credit card and the school will receive credit. All purchases made are delivered directly to the purchaser's home. Shipping is free for orders of $50 or more.
Calvary Christian School receives 50% of every sale. Proceeds from sales of our Preschool, Elementary and Middle School students help to support our general fund. Proceeds from the sales of our Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors go towards their class fundraising accounts. For Seniors, all profits made from individual sales to go towards their senior trip costs.
See any CCS student to purchase your gift cards.
