Happy Fall Notre Dame Families!
It has been a busy fall here in the Notre Dame SCRIP Office!  The Notre Dame Family has already generated over $15,000 in profit for the school!  Way to Go!!  And 15 families have already met their $250 required SCRIP profit.  That means they are already working towards reducing their tuition for the remainder of this year.  Congratulations!  If you haven't started, it's not too late.  Just log into www.shopwithscrip.com and create your account and start shopping.  And remember to encourage your families to order using your name.  Everyone needs at least gas.... right?
I know you are probably not ready for this, but the Holidays are coming.  The SCRIP office is working on beefing up our Holiday inventory.  So look for additional "limited time" offers in our "SCRIP to Go" options.  Start planning your Black Friday Shopping early!  Our order cut off will be November 16th.  Any orders placed prior to November 16th will be filled on November 18th and sent home in student envelopes.  With the following week being a short week and an early release on Wednesday, it is too hard to get orders filled by time the students are released.  We will still sell from our SCRIP inventory Monday - Wednesday in the Middle School Office for your convenience. However, after November 16th when it is gone it will be gone until after Thanksgiving.  But you can always use Scripnow!
Some other exciting news is we will be starting to sell SCRIP in the ELEMENTARY BUILDING on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 2:30 - 3:15. Look for our table just outside the school office door starting October 14th.  If you are looking for service hours and this time works for you, please consider signing up to help sell!
 
As always a few housekeeping items....Grand Central Station has been very generous with their rebate amount.  However these cards should be redeemed at Grand Central only, not at Shell Stations.  Grand Central Station would like to continue giving back 10%, but request we use them only at Grand Central.  If they continue to see cards being used at Shell Stations they will have no choice but to reduce their rebate.
When ordering online please watch the Kohl's and Kwik Trip cards.  There are two offerings of each.  One is offered through Great Lakes Scrip (our national retailer) and the other the scrip office orders directly from Kohl's and Kwik Trip.  You receive a larger rebate if you order the local cards online.
Please note:  We can no longer accept Business Checks.  This is a GRACE policy that we need to follow.  If you are ordering scrip please use only personal checks or cash.
Lastly, The SCRIP office IS still IN NEED of some additional SCRIP SELLERS
Note: the sign up is located on the Notre Dame website.  Click on the SCRIP tab, or you can click here.

This is a very EASY and FUN way to meet people while earning some of your required fundraising hours. Do not worry if you have never worked in SCRIP before...all training will be provided! Also, NEW THIS YEAR we will have SCRIP SELLING shifts available at the weekend masses for both St. Mary and St. Francis. It is as easy as selling SCRIP (before & after) 1 Mass - 1 weekend a month! This is another GREAT way to earn your fundraising service hours...
 
 
Happy Shopping
