SCHOOL BLANKET COLLECTION

We are collecting blankets for those in need this Christmas season as part of the parish service project.  If your student brings in one blanket they can be out of uniform on Monday, December 13^th, if they bring in two blankets they can be out of uniform on both Dec. 13 AND Dec. 14^th.  The blankets can be new or gently used.  Blankets will be counted as per family…so if you have multiple children in the school one blanket donation covers each of them for one out of uniform day..two blankets donated per family covers two out of uniform days.  Please consider giving the “Gift of Warmth” this Advent Season.

THANK YOU!!

Mrs. Jane Benedict wants to thank whoever gave her the wonderful gift for her birthday yesterday.  She just loves it and is most appreciative.

There are only 2 more weeks to order Scrip before Christmas Break!  The last order will be taken on Monday, Dec. 13th with delivery on Thursday, Dec. 16th.  Orders and payments must be in the school office by NOON ON MONDAYS!

There are many retailers that have been added to Scrip Now (scrip cards that can be downloaded from your computer).  These include Amazon, Chili's, CVS, Home Depot, iTunes, JCPenney, Land's End, Lowe's, Macaroni Grill, Maggiano's, O'Charley's & On the Border.

Also, some new retailers are now offering reloadable cards.  These include AMC, Burger King, CVS, Dominos, Gap, Hyatt, Old Navy, Lowe's, Starbucks and Papa John's.  Please remember to only reload them through the Scrip website!

Scrip is a great way to get tuition credit while shopping for the Holidays!!!  One family ordered Wal-Mart cards for their employer to give to all of their employees as gifts.  This is just an example of one of the many ideas for Scrip use.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Thanks and have a great Holiday Season!!!
