Doing Your Part at St. Mary's School
There are many ways to get involved and help at St. Mary's
School -- we couldn't survive without you - our current parents. Whether
clipping boxtops, saving soup labels, buying SCRIP, driving for a
class field trip, or serving fish at the Annual Fish Fry, everyone can
help in some way to help St. Mary's school. Here are few:
Buy
Scrip!
"Scrip" is another name for gift certificates.
Companies that participate, sell gift certificates to our school
at a discount, and we sell them at
face value to earn money for our school. For instance, our school can
buy a $25.00 gift certificate/scrip for $23.00, sell it for the face value of
$25.00 and earn $2.00 as PROFIT. Each company has its own percentage of discount
it offers. Learn more about Scrip
NEW! - Earn
Tuition Cedits with our "Scrip Tuition Credit" Program! This
year we begin our new "scrip
tuition credit" program. It is an incentive for school
families and friends to buy scrip, by splitting the profit
received from each scrip purchased between each family account
and St. Mary's School. Learn more
