Steve & Barry's has filed for Chaper 11 Bankruptcy.  They continue to operate and honor their cards.  Great Lakes SCRIP will continue to sell cards for a limited time, but they encourage families to redeem their Steve & Barry gift cards as soon as possible while most locations are still open and selection is best.

ShopWithScrip.com is Great Lakes Scrip Center's free web application to help our scrip clients manage their scrip programs.  Families like ShopWithScrip.com because they can securely order scrip any time day or night, from any internet-connected computer. Now families can also pay for their scrip online with PrestoPay™.

PrestoPay™ is NOT a credit card based system - it's better. PrestoPay™ uses the safe, reliable NACHA electronic fund transfer system. You enter your checking account information one time in a secure environment. After the account is verified, you can choose to have their scrip payments electronically deducted from your checking account when you order. The system is safe, secure and convenient.

SCRIP CAN BE ORDERED ALL SUMMER LONG!

SCRIP payments, orders and pickups will be managed in the school office through the end of June.  They will move to the rectory office in July and return to the school office when it opens in August.  Due dates will remain the same as the regular school year.  Orders and payments can always be dropped in the collection basket during Mass.  Place it in a sealed envelope clearly labeled "SCRIP".

WHAT IS SCRIP? We're pleased to share some exciting news about a fundraising program for our organization. It's called "SCRIP", and it's the fundraising program that works while you shop.

SCRIP is simply a word that means "substitute money" - in other words, SCRIP is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They're the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our SCRIP program including Kohls, JCPenney, The Gap, Speedway, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster and many, many others.

St. Augustine is committed to making a quality Catholic education affordable for ALL families.  To that end, we are pleased to extend our current SCRIP Tuition Reduction Incentive Program to include families who intend to send their children to St. Augustine in the future.  We are calling it our Promise Enrollment Program.  Anyone who might like to send their children or future children can participate!

50% of the profits generated by Promise Enrollment families will be saved during the years that family participates until they enroll their child in St. Augustine School.  The amount accrued will then be deducted off their first tuition bill.  Once the child is enrolled at St. Augustine School, former Promise Enrollment families can continue to purchase SCRIP and earn 50% off their tuition in the traditional manner.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?  It’s simple!  Download, print and fill out the enrollment form from the link to the right.  Return it to the school office.  Register your family at www.shopwithscrip.com and use the school code EABEA9C818L7.  Enter the word PROMISE for your child’s teacher.  Then relax as you start saving for your child’s future! 

If you have any questions, please direct them to our SCRIP Chairperson, Joni Kase, at  AugustineSCRIP@comcast.net.
