Journey School News

Dear Journey School Friends and Families,

Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed the long, holiday weekend!

Our Scholastic Book Fair is this week! Look for details below to enable your child to experience the fun of selecting and purchasing her or his own book.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us at the Harvest Faire. It was also wonderful to see the children shine their inner lights so brightly at our annual Lantern Walk. Thank you to the many parents and staff who made these two special festivals possible. Remember, such special events bind us together as a community and allow us to celebrate what we hold to be so important. The smiles on our children's faces below say it all!

Onwards and Upwards!

Scrip Fundraising Has Arrived!

A new and exciting fundraising program called 'scrip' is available at Journey School. Now you can raise money without buying unwanted items, without selling door-to-door, and with no extra cost to you. Supporting our School has never been easier!

How It Works
Scrip refers to gift certificates or gift cards. Our school is able to purchase gift cards from hundreds of retailers nationwide at a discount, which you can then buy at face value. The difference is our profit. These are the same gift cards that you would purchase if you went to the retailer directly. By purchasing these gift cards before you shop for your everyday items - like groceries, gas, clothes, restaurants - we raise money, without you having to spend a penny extra. It's just that simple.

Click here to download the list of participating scrip merchants.

How to Participate
Simply download and return the attached cover sheet and order form with your check to the office by Wednesday, November 17. You will receive a new order form each week. We encourage you to take advantage of the wonderful benefits offered by this ongoing fundraiser.

If you have questions, please contact Stephanie Ciulla at 949-212-6670. Help us exceed our goals, and thank you in advance for your support!

8th Grade Fundraising

Support Journey School's 8th grade class this holiday season. Share your sentiments, wishes and intentions with those you care about by purchasing one or more message jewelry items or Journey School items.
