Each two parent family is required to purchase $1,000.00 scrip ($500.00 for single family) during the school year.

What is Scrip? The concept is simple: St. John the Baptist Catholic School purchases gift certificates, or scrip, from popular retailers at a discount, which the retailers are pleased to give because they're guaranteeing themselves customers and some goodwill advertising. Parents then buy the gift certificates from us at face value. The difference in price is kept by the school. Parents, you spend the scrip at the retailer, where it's worth the full face value! The money earned from scrip sales goes back into the school to pay for school programs that benefit your child.

Scrip is a mandatory program for all families with students enrolled at St. John the Baptist Catholic School. Many families currently purchase scrip from the school on a regular basis (thank you!). For them, it has become a routine to purchase scrip. School earnings can really add up. Typical schools with modest programs can earn $12,000 without an undue amount of effort.

How do I buy scrip? Scrip can be purchased every school day from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm in the school office. You may pay by either cash or check. For scrip orders over $100.00, you may use your credit card.
