Ways to save on tuition: 
1. Each
One/Reach One Program: This
program will reward your family with a $100 tuition credit if you are
primarily responsible for bringing a new family/student into OLOH. The
new family must name you on their registration form. The credit will be
applied to your October 1st tuition balance, provided the new family/student
is attending OLOH School and their tuition payments are current.
2. Ask about Tuition Assistance.
Call the school office (413) 734-4125 and ask about scholarships and financial
aid.
There are 3 different scholarships so do apply - applications are due

3. The
Gift Certificate Program_________________________________________________________________
Participating in this Gift Certificate Program is an easy way to get
free credits to lower your tuition. The Gift Certificate Program includes
the following stores and restaurants: Stop & Shop, Fruit Fair, Big
Y, Arnold's, Chili's, On The Border, and 99 Restaurant.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
10% of 99 Restaurant, Chili's or On the Border, 5% of Stop & Shop,
Fruit Fair or Arnold's and 2% of Big Y gift certificate purchases will
be applied to your tuition balance in July and January. For example, if
you buy $100 worth of Stop & Shop gift certificates, 5% or $5.00 will
be deducted from your child's tuition.
What if I don't spend the entire gift certificate?
The store will give you change either in the form of cash or another gift
certificate, depending on the amount they owe you.
Where do I purchase the gift certificates?
Each family participating in the program will receive a reusable envelope.
Orders, along with the money, should be turned into the classroom by the
student first thing on Wednesday or Thursday morning. Your gift certificates
will be returned to you on the following day Thursday or Friday).
Gift certificates may also be purchased at the Rectory, Monday - Friday
from 8:30am-4:00pm.
How much will it cost me to participate?
Nothing! If you spend $100 a week on groceries you will now spend the
same $100 for your gift certificates. Gift certificates are used just
like money! The great part is that between 2%-20% of your gift certificate
purchases will be applied to your tuition. And remember that the Stop
& Shop certificates can also be used for gas purchases and at any
of the pharmacies within the participating stores!
When can I join?
Families may join at any time and you can invite your relatives, friends
and co-workers to purchase gift certificates through you and your family
receives the tuition credit!
If you have any questions about this program, or would like to join,
please contact Lorraine Flavin at 734-4370.
