SCM GIFT
CARDS & CERTIFICATES (SCRIP)
Scrip is a term
that means, “substitute money”. You purchase
negotiable gift certificates that are used just like
cash. The scrip is issued by national and local

restaurants, gas stations, etc. To see a more
extensive list of vendors or order online see www.shopwithscrip.com.

vendors are sent home biweekly
(more frequently during the holidays). Return your

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
How much of the
schools operating budget depends on the money we
raise through the fundraisers?
$40,000 of the
schools operating budget is raised through our
fundraisers. Successful fundraising enables us to
keep our tuition increases modest and ultimately
more affordable for each school family.
Which
fundraisers count towards my family’s $225
fundraising requirement?
All of the above
fundraisers can be used towards your fundraising
goal.
What if I earn
more than $225?
Once you have
reached your goal of $225, any additional money is
split 50/50 with the school. Your 50% will go
towards next year’s tuition.
How long do we
have to raise our $225?
You have until
February 28th to raise your $225. You
will receive a monthly statement to keep you
informed on how much you have raised. In March if
the fundraising is not paid your child/children will
not receive their report cards and you may not
register for next year. If your child is in 8th
grade they will be excluded from their class trip
and picnic, and will not receive their report card
and diploma.

questions please feel free to contact the office at
