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.
