- What
is SCRIP?
Scrip
is a gift certificate from a participating merchant. You purchase
SCRIP and use it as a substitute for cash at a participating merchant.
- How does the school
benefit?
Our
school benefits by receiving between 2%-36% profit from the merchant on
every dollar of SCRIP you purchase. The school purchases the
SCRIP at
a discount from the merchants. You repurchase the SCRIP from the
school at the full face value, and the school retains the difference.
- How does the parish
benefit?
SCRIP
profits are included in the school budget as income. The greater
SCRIP
income, the smaller the parish subsidy. If more families
purchase
SCRIP, our profit will increase and will help to reduce subsidies at
each parish. Thank you to all the parishioners who support
the SCRIP
program. You don't have to have a child that attends La Salle
Catholic
to help your parish. Anytime anyone uses SCRIP it helps their parish.
- How do LaSalle families
benefit?
Your
purchases through SCRIP can earn 1% toward K-8 tuition for the coming
year if you have children attending La Salle. Remember relatives,
friends, and neighbors can donate their 1% towards your child's tuition
credit.
- How is SCRIP accepted in
the stores?
SCRIP is accepted the same as cash.
- Where can I buy SCRIP
certificates?
Anyone
interested in purchasing SCRIP may do so at the following locations:
DB&T in Holy Cross, Fidelity Bank & Trust in Luxemburg, and at
the home of Steve & Vicki Cleary's home in Rickardsville. You
may
also send your SCRIP order to school with your child and we will fill
it and return it to you as soon as possible (see order form below).
If
a large quantity of a certain SCRIP merchant is needed, please contact
Ann Maiers (870-5705).
