SCRIP: Plan ahead for your Christmas shopping and help the school earn money on each purchase! Information was sent home in last week’s Friday Folders. Call the school office for more information!

Scrip is a fundraising program that uses shopping with gifts cards. Over 750 brands including Walgreens, Amazon, Home Depot, Kohls, and Walmart are available. The school will then earn a rebate on every gift card you purchase. Whether you buy the gift cards to give as presents or use them for your everyday shopping, your order immediately raises funds for the school without you paying any extra money. We will be accepting cash, check, or credit card. If we do not have the gift card you would like in stock, we can also take orders.

Volunteers will be selling Scrip in the Gathering Space after the following weekend Masses:
December 1st 4:30 Mass December 2nd 10:30 Mass December 9th 10:30 Mass
December 15th 4:30 Mass December 16th 10:30 Mass

Support Ss. Peter and Paul School while shopping for Christmas presents or everyday needs!

The Christmas Star From A Far
Put Christ into the Advent and Christmas Season!! This is the Christian version of Elf on the Shelf. The Christmas Star from Afar encourages children to go on a hunt for their Star, similar to that of the Wise Men. If you would like to see a set, please stop by the parish or school office or after Mass where we will have an open sample. Each $35 set includes the activity book with a wooden Star, a full wooden nativity scene that matches the artwork of the book, and optional scripture to use throughout the month. A set of additional stable animals is $20. Cash or check payable to Ss. Peter & Paul.
