Message from Mr. DeFruscio

Dear O’Hara Parents,

Last summer we announced a new program for the students of O’Hara. While most of you have signed up for the program there are some who have still not taken advantage our partnership with the SAGE Scholars program. Below is the information on how your student can earn money to be used to pay for college.

Cardinal O’Hara is the only Catholic school in the country that can offer the program, which allows students to earn up to $9,000 to be used to attend a select group of colleges.

Each year students will be awarded points for attending Cardinal O’Hara HS. Each point is the equivalent of $1 off in tuition at one of SAGE’s participating colleges. SAGE Scholars has almost 400 private colleges in their network. For a complete list of the colleges in the network and to get answers to your frequently asked questions please visit SAGE’s site at www.tuitionrewards.com .

Each year a student is enrolled at O’Hara they will receive points. The points breakdown is as follows:

Freshman year: 2,000 points + 500 bonus points for registering their name

Sophomore year: 2,000 points

Junior year: 2,000 points + 2,500 bonus points for filling out their profile

As the parent of an O’Hara student you will be receiving an invite to register from SAGE Scholars in early April. Please make sure you follow the link and register your student in order to claim your points. If you don’t sign up for the program you can’t go back later to receive your points so please register when you get your email.

To learn more about the SAGE Scholar’s Tuition Rewards program please visit the O’Hara website to watch a video with more details on the program at www.cohs.com .

Sincerely,

Jay DeFruscio

A couple important reminders:

1. Transportation: Your child MUST have a ride home at the end of the event. It is for the safety of all students that an adult picks up their child (or group of students) and safely transports each home.

2. T-shirt Pick Up: Your child will receive their participant t-shirt at one of the pick up sessions. The last one is tonight, Thursday 6:30-8:00pm in the cafeteria. Please make sure your child attends one of these sessions. Students should pack their clothes and sneakers they wish to have for this event and bring to school with them.

3. Fundraising Commitment: By signing up, your child committed to raise $110 for our fundraising causes. If you are looking to find your child's fundraising page, please go to this website and search his/her name: https://dhdm.causevox.com/search/fundraisers

4. Food/Beverages: We will be providing your child with food, including dinner, throughout the night. Thank you to the parents who have helped to donate items on our list. We are grateful.

5. Dancer Mail Drop Off Times this Week: Wednesday, May 8th 6:30-8:00pm and Thursday, May 9th 6:30-8:00pm At the CAFETERIA Entrance. You should have received an email regarding dancer/participant mail from one of our student leadership team members.

Come and support our students!

Finally, this is a student-led event! Come out and see the hard work of more than half the student body as we support CHOP, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, Catholic Charities Appeal, Catholic Relief Services and Bringing Hope Home through Lions Philanthropy.

All parents, friends, family, etc. are invited to join us for Family Hour and our Prayer Service at 8:30pm. All are invited to join us for the fundraising reveal at 1:00am. When arriving on campus, please enter through the Main Gym Doors.
