In fact, with over 200 local and national
vendors, you can put your spending power to work for Saint Theresa. Every
time you order a gift card from the SCRIP program, Saint Theresa receives
a percentage of the purchase.
And so do you.
Every purchase is counted toward a personal family account that may be
applied toward tuition, lunch tickets, the media center, the parish or the
school. Throughout the year, you will receive statements that show how
much you have earned. Grandparents can apply their purchases toward your
family’s account, too.
Participation is essential.
Many schools in the country and in Iowa have successfully incorporated the
SCRIP program to help keep tuition down and fundraising efforts to a
minimum. Every purchase is very important and adds significant dollars to
our community. For example, if 100 families purchased a minimum of $50 of
grocery certificates and $25 in gas per week, Saint Theresa could
potentially earn over $14,000 per year. Just imagine what your purchases
could mean if you fully utilized the program.
Participation is simple.
Just fill out the green order form and send it to school on Monday morning
and we will send home the SCRIP by Friday. Orders will be sent home in the
Friday Folder or may be picked up in the parish or school office.
Or, you can buy SCRIP gift certificates on Sundays after each of the
morning Masses in the back of the Church or on Thursday mornings from 9:00
to 11:00 in the parish office.

SCRIP program, please contact Chris Long (274-8971) or Happy Peris (727-6196)
