It's Baaaack!
The Magazine Drive begins on Friday, August 28 and runs through Monday, September 14. We appreciate the parents who have already signed up to volunteer during the drive and we especially would like to thank Mrs. Jennifer Richmond and Mrs. Karen Rinelli, who have taken on the responsibility of co-chairing the event!
Our school goal is $55,000 and if we make the goal, the students will be rewarded with an "Inflatable Party!" Prizes, jeans days and Hershey Bars will also be part of the prize selection during the drive.
Please see the Magazine Drive packet that comes home in the Thursday Yellow Envelope for detailed information on Turn In Days, Prize Days and how to order! Thanks for your support!

skirts and/or dresses must be below
the knee. Shorts are not permitted on free dress
days.* Clothes must not be excessively
tight or oversized.No halter or midriff-baring tops are allowed. Shoulder straps
must be more than two (2)
inches wide. Muscle shirts and items with
inappropriate pictures or sayings are not acceptable. Shoes must not be higher than two (2) inches and they must have backs. Parents will be called or students may be required
to wear a school owned uniform if students come to school inappropriately
dressed as determined by an administrator or teacher. Hats may not be worn in St. Anastasia
buildings.
*An exception to the no shorts rule is that students may
wear their uniform shorts or their PE shorts.

Tuition Reduction Through The SCRIP Program!
|
The SCRIP Program is a
program that St. Anastasia parents can purchase gift cards through the
school and the school will receive a profit from each card purchased. A complete list of cards that are available
can be found at GLScrip.com.
By creating family
accounts with on-line ordering we will be able to track usage and you can
directly impact your family re-registration/tuition fees.
Click here to set up your family account. The enrollment code for St. Anastasia Catholic School is E7A4L4C913783. The school office will receive your order
electronically. You will need to print a
page to send with payment. Payment is
due Monday mornings by 9:00 a.m. in order to be processed by that week. No order will be placed until payment is
received. Orders are usually back in
time for delivery in the Thursday folder. If you prefer to pick up the cards in the office, please make a note on
your order form.
St. Anastasia School
shares the profits with you: 50% credit
to the School and 50% credit toward your re-registration/tuition fees. For example, if you buy a gift card for
$50 and the discount is 10%, the school gets $2.50 credit and you get $2.50
credit. All money credited to your
account becomes the property of St. Anastasia School when your family leaves
the school. You must order online to qualify for this discount. |
