Fundraising
In order to offer a quality Christian education at the lowest possible cost, Salem Christian School must rely upon the generosity of God's people to meet the physical and financial needs of the school. Since Salem Christian School is a non-profit 501c3 organization, gifts to the school are tax deductible. There are a number of ways you can help!!

Class Sponsors-As an individual or business, you can sponsor a grade level. For every "A" the children in that grade level received in a grading period, you donate $10 to the school. At the end of each grading period, Class Sponsors will receive a report card on your class.
