Our Lady of Mount Carmel School
Free Fundraisers
Fundraisers are a vital part of our school’s financial success each year. None of these fundraisers can be successful without the participation of our families and parishioners. Run completely by parent volunteers, our Fall Fundraiser, Auction and Spring Festival are our biggest fundraising events of the year. There are a number of year-round fundraisers that also significantly impact our bottom line. The best part of these programs is that they are all "free," meaning you are raising funds for our school doing the same shopping you are already doing.

Ink/Toner Cartridges & Cell Phone Recycling Your used ink jet, laser jet and other printer cartridges, as well as old cell phones, can be dropped off at school. Unfortunately, not all cartridges can be re-manufactured which means they cannot be refilled and resold. Please check the current list of qualifying items. You will find Funding Factory recycling boxes clearly marked for ink jet, laser printer or cell phone recycling (3 boxes) in the hallway as you enter the school from the arcade. We ask that you place just the qualifying cartridges and phones in these boxes, and put any packaging in the paper recycling box found adjacent. This will save our parent volunteers lots of time! Thank you.
