Why YOU Should Use Scrip

	It supports the school
	It's easy to buy and easy to use
	It doesn't cost you any extra money and it's a great fundraiser for the school!

     Scrip update: In order to retain our status as a not-for-profit organization, as of July 1, 2010 Christ the King can no longer give tuition credit for Scrip.  If you purchased scrip through June 30 you will get credit for that in the fall of 2010.  We are sorry for this but hope you will continue to purchase scrip to benefit the school.

A program called SCRIP is an extensive certificate purchase program which provides income for the school and for school parents! The potential for income is tremendous, and this program has become the school's largest fundraiser.  Its school profits go directly into the school's operating budget as a revenue source.  That in turn helps to keep the tuition increases as low as possible.  Without this Scrip profit revenue, tuition would have to be raised even higher, as the lack of this same income source would have to be collected from families through higher tuitions.
     The program works when CKS purchases certificates at less than face value, sells them at face value, and profits immediately when a certificate is sold. 
    
     There is a great opportunity here for families to help both the school.  Parents are not being asked to purchase specific items for fund-raisers; rather, this is a way to earn funds by simply changing buying habits.  If a family purchases certificates prior to doing the grocery shopping, they will not be spending more money, but  the school will earn a percentage of what they do spend.  Weekly grocery shopping, gas purchases, Christmas gifts, dining out, entertainment, home repairs can all return a profit to the school and to a family with some advance planning.
     Parishioners are encouraged to participate in the program.  Grocery, gas, drug store, and Lowe's certificates will be available for purchase after weekend Masses.  Orders for certificates not on hand must be received with payment at the school office by Tuesday of each week.  The order is filled and returned to the parish office by noon on Friday.  It will be held there for pickup  during the regular weekday parish office hours, 8:30-noon; 1pm-4:30pm.
