SCRIP PROGRAM
     The Scrip program is slowly recovering from the unfortunate theft that occurred late in 2007.  Most of the people who were
     arrested in connection with the theft have been sentenced and we will receive the Scrip that was recovered and held as
     evidence in the near future.  With Mr. Smith's help we have been working with the insurance company to reach a
     settlement for the un-recovered Scrip and hopefully we will have that soon also.  We want to thank everyone who has
     continued to use the program and hope to be back to making monthly donations to the school's general fund very soon.
     March 31, 2008
is the Scrip program's annual year end.  By the end of April families that have participated in the program
     this past year will know what their tuition reimbursement credit will be.  That credit can be used towards your tuition
     payment for the 2008-2009 school year.

     Golden Corral Scrip is no longer available.Lowe’s now has Scrip in $1000 increments for your convenience when making
     large purchases.

     Barnes & Noble Scrip is now available in $100 increments.  This is especially convenient for families who have college
