Please help St. Patrick's Parent Association raise money at no cost to you by participating in the eScrip program.  Participating merchants contribute to St. Patrick's each time you make a purchase using a grocery club card or registered credit or debit card.  St. Patrick's has received contributions of thousands of dollars each year from Vons, Safeway and Pavilions when parents, teachers, friends and families have made purchases at these grocery stores using a grocery card that they have registered with eScrip.  Other participating merchants will also contribute a percentage of purchases made using a credit or debit card that is registered with eScrip.  

 

To register is easy - go to www.escrip.com and use St. Patrick's group ID number 137601122 when designating which group should receive contributions. Please see the flyers included in today's WOW for more information or contact Eileen Robinett with questions or to help with signing up one or more of your grocery, credit or debit cards (erobinett@roadrunner.com or (805) 552-0883).  Anyone who has previously registered their grocery cards will need to renew them by November 1st. Contact Eileen to renew them for you, or go to www.escrip.com and click on "Yes Renew!" before November 1st.

 

eScrip Contest.  In order to encourage St. Patrick's eScrip sign ups and renewals, St. Patrick's will give a free dress pass to each student in the class that has the highest percentage of active St. Patrick's eScrip supporters(those families having a registered and renewed Vons, Safeway or Pavilions club card and/or a registered credit or debit card) as of October 15th.  All families who meet these criteria will also be eligible to participate in a drawing for a $50 Vons gift card, to be conducted by the Parent Association.  So, enroll and renew now to increase the chance that your child's class will receive free dress passes and to enter the $50 Vons gift card drawing!
