Covering the Costs
Due to certain activities, materials involved, and transportation, all InterSCession classes have a fee. Travel classes or mission trips may have significant costs. Several opportunities for fundraising are made available to help students raise funds.
Spring fundraisers:
Students may sign up to serve at the annual SCS auction. Funds earned through tips may be used toward InterSCession.
