How much SCRIP?

Tuition Credit
Twice a year each family will receive a tuition credit for SCRIP purchases.

General Information
Here is a year round fund-raiser that requires neither donating nor selling products door-to-door! By purchasing gift certificates through this program for use as cash at a large number of retailers, restaurants, and gas stations, the school earns money and you may receive a tuition discount! Due to volume purchasing, the school purchases the SCRIP at a discount, while consumers pay face value for the "gift certificates". The program allows you to make a donation to the school every time a bill is paid or a purchase made at participating businesses.

The program requires dependable volunteers including:

• Two Chairpersons, who are responsible for the program operation.
• Office Help, who help with deposits, record keeping, and filling orders.
• Salespeople, who work with sales before and after school.

The hours spent on SCRIP are fundraising hours.

FUN RUN

Each year in March every student in the school runs in the annual Ellen Anderson Fun Run on St. Patrick's Day. A committee of at least two chairpersons prepares a packet of information for every school family to secure sponsors and collect money for this major fund raising event. The chairs are also responsible for collection and bookkeeping of funds raised.

Fun Run Committee and volunteer tasks include:

• Bookkeeping
• Solicit Prizes
• Advertising
• Set-Up
• Lap Recorder

The hours spent on the Fun Run are fundraising hours
