SFO - School Family Organization
The School and Family Organization (SFO) was formed to foster unity among BTC School families and to provide financial support for our school. SFO accomplishes this by hosting activities for our students/families and through fundraising events. We encourage all our school families to become involved and volunteer at several of our activities throughout the academic year. See below for basic information on the range of SFO activities.
TAP Purchasing
TAP (Tuition Assistance Program) is a fundraising program that benefits BTC School simply by selling gift cards to school and parish families. BTC purchases gift certificates from retailers at a discount and then sells them to school families and parishioners at face value. The certificates spend at face value and the difference is kept by the school as profit. All school families are required to earn $300 in PROFIT annually through this program.
TAP gift cards from a wide variety of businesses are sold each weekend after Masses and Monday through Thursday from 2:30-4:30 p.m. each week in the Parish Office. Click the Order Form or Retailer List boxes below to see the options available for purchase and for an order form. If you know your order, you can submit it via email to tap@btc-school.org.
