SCRIP
We are looking for a new Scrip Coordinator!
Scrip is a great fundraiser that takes very little effort on the part of us parents. Through this program, you purchase gift cards at your favorite places, and the school receives a percentage back with no additional fees or charges. Specifically, the money raised through Scrip program goes directly back into the school to further your child’s education. Through our online format, purchases can be made at www.ShopWithScrip.com using our enrollment code A1DE7F4C2L91L. For any last minute purchases you wish to make, we also have our “Cash & Carry Bag” that you can find in the office Monday – Friday. Home and School is in need of a volunteer to help advertise this program to our families and parishioners. Please consider volunteering for this position as it is a great way to give back money to our school. If you are interested please contact Home and School at homeandschool@sfdslg.org.
