SCRIP UPDATE


The new Scrip rebate period started on 1/01/11 and will continue through 3/31/11.  You should have received a letter back in February letting you know your Scrip rebates for the period of 4/22/10-12/31/11.  If you didn't, you probably pay your tuition anually.  If so, your rebate will be credited toward your 2011-2012 tuition in July.

There are only 5 more weeks before Spring Break.  Be sure to order your gas cards, hotel, restaurant, etc..... before then!  If you haven't heard, Target is now a part of the Scrip program!!!  You should check the Scrip website monthly to see the bonus rebates for the month.

Thanks

Re: Winter Formal Saturday, February 5

To parents of 7th and 8th grade students

Come rain, or sleet, or snow - and we've had them all this week - the dance is on for tomorrow night!!  The gym is ready, the pizza is hot, the music is fun and the dance floor is beckoning...so have your student come ready to have fun with their friends!  The gym doors open at 7p.  One last
suggestion:  Encourage your child to leave the cell phones at home if possible - we want to avoid any mishaps with lost, dropped, broken, danced-on phones as a result of kids hoppin' and boppin' to the great music!  See you and your students tomorrow!  Geri McKay and Beth Pretti, co-chairs
