| Scrip Sales - Painless Fundraising |
|
Scrip is 'fundraising while you shop'TM. The Scrip program allows parents and anyone who wishes to participate, to purchase scrip for everyday expenses like food, clothing, fuel and entertainment; while earning a percentage of each dollar of scrip purchased back in revenue. Scrip is 'no-selling' fundraising. Participating in our Scrip program is a great way to support the School and supplement a student's tuition. To help with your holiday shopping, SCRIP IS BEING SOLD DAILY, IN THE CHURCH HALL FROM 0800 to 1000. Scrip orders may still be sent into School with students and will be filled that day.

| Mock Elections |
|
This week the upper grades participated in the history making presidential election. While they're too young to vote at the actual polls they held their won version of the election. Students studied the canidates and their views, registered to vote, made voter registration cards and voted for the candiate of their choice. After the election, the students tracked the election results on line. The result of the student election was John McCain 83% and Barack Obama 19%.
