Unlike tuition, SPSV Fund contributions may be tax-deductible as charitable gifts. Participation in annual fundraising events like the SPSV Auction and Crab Feed is crucial for meeting operational and long-term fiscal needs. Parents and guardians are also expected to contribute through our Parent Service Program, offering their time and talents.
