THANK YOU for your generosity!
Our school is a member of the eScrip fundraising program
for nonprofit schools, a reputable organization used by public and private
schools and churches throughout the country. Parents, grandparents (even
distant relatives!) and "friends" of our school may register with our account
at eScrip (account #
50003730) to benefit our school. The program
is simple. You register credit, debit, gift and other shopping cards from
local merchants on the secure website. A percentage of your purchase is matched
by local merchants and a monthly contribution is made to our school through
an electronic funds transfer to our bank account. The benefits gained by
our school DO NOT change or effect any other benefits (such as airline miles)
that your cards bring you personally. There are other specific benefits to
subscribers which you can read about on the website.
Read all about the program at
www.eScrip.com.
Then sign up and encourage your friends and family to sign up as well. If
you have questions about the program, please feel welcome to speak with our
school's director. We have been using this program for some time and have
found it both safe and beneficial.
