How can ordering every week help the school?
If every school family placed ONE $25 order every week, for things we would normally do or buy, the scrip program could take in almost $10,000.00 in gross profits in one year and each family that had children in our school could get back close to $100.00 in a scrip rebate at the end of the school year.
Imagine what placing larger orders could do.
Please consider placing a scrip order today.
Please contact Jo Vigue at 877-0881 or

Thank you for your continued support.
What is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means substitute money. When you purchase Scrip from St. John's you will be buying prepaid gift cards or gift certificates that can be used at a variety of merchants. St. John's buys these cards and certificates at a discount from Great Lakes Scrip.
Scrip is a popular fundraiser for our school because parishioners and families don't have to sell anything. Parishioners and families produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. We are asking you to think differently about the way you shop. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, prescriptions, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip. For example, if you buy $100 of LL Bean scrip, you get $100 of LL Bean gift certificates. The St. John's community buys the $100 of LL Bean gift certificates at a discount for $85. You get $100 of value for your $100 purchase, our community makes $15.
How can I earn a rebate on Scrip?
The incentive for families with students at St. John's School OR Pre-school will come in the form of a CASH REBATE. By using Scrip, your family will earn back $.50 for every $1.00 you bring in for profit. An example would be as follows: If you or a friend/family member buys $100.00 worth of LL Bean Gift certificates through our Scrip program, the profit realized is $15.00. You would earn back $7.50 in a rebate. The rebates will be given out two times a year (December & June). If you, family members or friends order/use Scrip and credit it to your family, you will earn back a rebate. It will add up quickly! On the order form is a place at the top for you, your family members or friends to place your child's/family's name to receive credit towards your rebate when using the order form. Encourage family and friends to use our Scrip program and credit the sale towards your child so your rebate can grow!
