Scrip is a year-round fundraiser for our school – and is a very important way to keep our tuition cost down. It offers big earnings with no selling – it’s fundraising while you shop! When you purchase Scrip, you are purchasing a gift card/certificate to a national or local business that participates in the Scrip program. These businesses then donate a percentage of your purchase back to the school. There is no extra cost to you. Just spend your regular shopping dollars with a Scrip gift card or certificate and SMS benefits in a big way! Every K-8 family is required to earn $300 in Scrip profit from June 1 - May 31...Click title for access to the full article which includes important updates.
Today we graduated our 8th graders. It wasn't the "normal" ceremony, but it was still a special ceremony. Thankful we had a beautiful day outside so everyone could remain 6 feet apart. It was very touching to be together again . . .
Our 8th grade families received a May Day surprise today! It was great to see you! Wishing we were celebrating your last month with you at school. We are proud of you.
Our preschool teachers loved to see their students' smiling faces when they dropped of a few May Day treats! It is so hard to not be able to finish the school year together. Thank you, preschoolers, for sharing your smile to make our teachers' heart smile!
