Scrip Gift Card Liquidation ~

** Place your special orders now!

** Win either $100 or $200 Safeway Card!


After much consideration the decision has been made to no longer sell scrip gift cards.  The majority (75%) of our income from scrip comes from escrip (Safeway card registration).  We understand that the gift cards have been a valuable customer service to many people throughout the years, but unfortunately the income doesn't justify the huge amount of volunteer hours that are required to order, sell and manage the program.

 

We know we have many loyal customers who would like a chance to stock up before the end of the year.  This is a great time to order gift cards to use this summer (just think how many trips to Starbucks, Peets, Matt & Jeffs, Shell or Safeway you will be making; also ITunes, Lands End, Whole Foods and more)!!  To place your special order for scrip, please contact Paula Knight at peapknight@yahoo.com (by Monday, June 6th).  

 

For the remaining stock that is in our famous "scrip box" - we will be having a raffle to offer an incentive to clean us out of stock! Starting May 31st, for every $25 in scrip cards that you buy (including special orders), you will receive an entry into a raffle to win a $100 safeway gift card. If we sell out of scrip by the end of the raffle, we will double the prize to a $200 safeway card!   We will be selling in the parking lot on our regular days and times:  6/1, 2, 8, 9 (from 8:10 to 9:00).  Raffle ends at 4:00 on June 9th. The raffle winner will be drawn on the 10th.  Good luck.


Many thanks go out to our scrip team, who have devoted so much time and effort to this major fundraising campaign for so many years.  Thank you Tricia Anderson, Paula Knight and Nicole Kropelnicki!

 

Please contact Joe Covert (jcovert@restorationhardware.com) or Susan Hall (Susan.Hall@GoodShepherdLutheran.org) if you have any questions or feedback.  Thank you.

Yearbook Update

 We're less than two weeks away from the last day of the school year as well as the release of our first ever all-school yearbook!! A couple of important details:

  • Email invoices have been sent to each family for payment (cash or check) returned to the yearbook drop box in front of the office or Diane O'Leary's classroom by JUNE 10th.
  • If you have NOT received an email invoice today, but have a copy of the yearbook reserved, please contact Joe Covert ASAP at  (jcovert@restorationhardware.com)  
  • Yearbooks will be released to the 8th grade class on June 12th, and to the rest of the school at a yearbook release party on each campus at noon, June 15th.
  • We're still looking for a few more volunteers to join us at 11am at either campus to help us get ready for the excitement. Please contact Joe Covert to join the fun!

Thank you so much for your support!

MS Student Council Raises $110.00

Middle School Student Council has been holding bake sales during their lunch.  They have raised $110.00 to be donated to the Marin Humane Society. We are very proud of their efforts.

NEW HOT LUNCH PROGRAM FOR NEXT YEAR!

We are excited to be working with the Good Earth School Lunch Program next year.  Good Earth will be bringing healthy, organic and highly nutritious foods into the lives of our children. They, like us, are committed to the belief that good nutrition supports optimal physical growth, cognitive development and a strong sense of well being. 

 

The Good Earth Lunch Program is currently serving over 4000 students and many teachers each week.  They began their program in August of 2003s with 4 schools and have grown to over 10 schools in the Marin area, three of which are public.

 

More information will be coming later about our program but now you can check out their website for more information.
