Sharing (Tuition Reduction & Fundraising) ~What is the Sharing Program? Sharing is a great way to earn tuition credit while shopping and dining at local establishments and online. Families purchase gift cards online or in person for over 750 vendors who participate in this program. Families then earn a rebate for every card they purchase with the vendor setting the percentage of the rebate. This makes shopping at stores you already frequent beneficial because it reduces your tuition bill and raises money for the school at the same time. Once a family signs up for the program, twice a year (January and July) they will receive a rebate based on their purchases. The school earns 50% of the percentage and the family receives 50% towards their tuition. For those participating that do not have children in the school, you can designate a student to donate your rebate to or receive a check. Example of a purchase: $150 Jewel/Mariano's gift card bought through Sharing for weekly groceries has a 4% discount. If a family buys a $150 card each week, they would receive $3 toward their rebate and the school would earn $3. Over the year, the rebate savings would continue to grow and after 26 weeks, the rebate would be $78 for the family and $78 for the school. With over 750 vendors, families can save hundreds of dollars in tuition rebates for money they would already be spending otherwise! https://www.qmschool.com/page/sharing-tuition-reduction

We welcomed our Queen of Martyrs faculty & staff back today celebrating the Feast of the Assumption with Mass, prayer, and a special blessing. During our teacher meetings, we spent time reflecting on our vocations as Catholic school educators with Lectio Divina on Mark 10:13-16 "Let the children come to me" and the inspirational phrase posted in our classrooms and hallways: Let it be known to all who enter here that Jesus Christ is the reason for this school, the unseen but ever-present Teacher in all its classes, the Model of its faculty, and the Inspiration for its students. May Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs, bless our teachers, students, and QM families during this new school year!
