Weekly Newsletter
From the Principal
The school would like to remind everyone to purchase Scrip. Please remember that Scrip money gets the consumer equal purchasing power and the
school receives its money from the businesses. You can purchase Scrip from
the school office and we will send home an order form the first week of the
month. You can also purchase Scrip online. At our CSW open house we will
have a table set up to help individuals register online. There are many benefits to purchasing online Scrip including more vendors, different denominations options and weekly specials. Just this week a special was offered to an
online buyer with 20% bonus to the school.
During the Open House on Wednesday night, if you sign up for online Scrip
or show the table that you are already signed up, you will be entered in a
drawing to win a $20 Kwik Trip Card.
The school will also start a $50 Scrip drawing for every month. If you purchase Scrip during the month of February your name will go into a drawing
for $50.
