St. John Parent Teacher Fellowship Happenings
ANNOUNCING 'SCRIP'
What is SCRIP? SCRIP is a tuition reimbursement program. When parents, grandparents,
friends purchase SCRIP gift cards, they are purchasing negotiable gift cards (not a credit card) that
may be used just like cash. National and local retailers use these gift cards where our families
already shop. These merchants want to support the schools, and in return ask you to support them
by shopping with SCRIP at their stores. The individuals who sign up with SCRIP through St. John
can use SCRIP to purchase everyday expenses such as food, clothing, gas, etc. These individuals
can then earn revenue for a designated child's tuition with every purchase. (Anywhere from 2% -
25% of each purchase is returned to the designated child's tuition account, therefore reducing the
amount of tuition paid out of pocket.)
In order for this exciting, innovative program to succeed, St. John is in need of a few faithful
volunteers on a regular monthly basis to assist with the administration of this program. Please
contact Laurie McDonald at 355-8511 if you would be able to donate a few hours of your time once
each month. Your service would allow this program to succeed, be a great way to earn F.A.I.T.H.
hours, be a huge benefit to our families, and possibly be a factor in helping bring new families to our
school.
PAGES FOR ALL AGES COMMUNITY-WIDE BOOKFAIR:
Pages For All Ages Book fair will take place at the store in Savoy starting Saturday, October 27th and
will continue through Sunday, November 4th. You can show your support by simply shopping at
Pages between these dates. For every item supporters buy at the store, Pages will donate 15% to our
organization. All you have to do is mention St. John Lutheran School at check out to receive credit for
the purchases you are making. Web orders can count too. Visit www.pagesforallages.com and order
your items. In the comment section type "Book fair and St. John Lutheran School" and we will

Dessert Order Form
Pie and Cheesecake order forms were sent home with the kids this week. All proceeds go toward the
7th Grade’s class trip to Gettysburg next fall. The goal is to sell 500 pies! If we reach our goal there
will be an assembly on November 21st and one teacher and one student will randomly be drawn to
have a chance to toss a pie at Mr. Leffler, but only if we meet our goal! Orders can be taken through
November 8 and payment needs to be collected at the time the order is placed. Checks can be made
payable to St. John PTF.
