Love the Earth. Love the Creator.   
God's eternal power and character cannot be seen. But from the beginning of creation, God has shown what these are like by all he has made. -Romans 1:20a

PrestoPay

Last year our school received more than $18,000 in profit from scrip sales! This year our goal is a $25,000 profit. To make it easy for everyone to buy scrip from home and on-the-go, all families are encouraged to sign up with PrestoPay. If you don't already have a PrestoPay account, someone from the office will call and help set one up.

 

Once you have a PrestoPay account, you can visit the MyScripWallet website to organize, purchase and store your scrip. You can also view MyScripWallet on your phone and use it to scan barcodes from your scrip cards to pay for purchases. 


PrestoPay will also make it easy for you to earn extremely high rebates on certain brands during the "Thank-Scrip-ing Day" promotion days. The next one is coming up on Monday, September 15. Read this flyer for details. This is a great way to meet your scrip requirement quickly!

 

Give with Target Register Your Target Card

Target just sent our school a check for more than $900! This is thanks to all of our families who signed up to have one percent of their Target purchases donated to Shepherd through the Take Charge of Education program. To register your Target card, please follow this link.

 

Fifth Grade Builders

Using only paper and masking tape, the fifth graders worked in groups to build bridges. Brooke and John's bridge held 41 encyclopedias!
