SCRIP Please remember by buying and using Scrip Cards you do not have to worry about your identity and credit information being stolen. It is also a fundraiser for the church. The last four years Scrip has reinvested their profits in the amount of $65,000 back into St. Michael School building by replacing the school roof, installing all new entrance doors, funding toward the new boiler, purchasing new entrance mats and a new gymnasium floor. All this was done with no cost to the church. We have two big projects to hopefully fund 100 percent by Scrip over the next few years: a new roof on the gymnasium and grounds work around the front and side of the school building. Estimated cost on the new gymnasium roof is $30,000 and grounds work around the building is estimated at $30,000 also. We will only be able to fund it 100 percent with your participation in Scrip. Last, but not least is Tuition Credit to BHCS or PREP. Please check us out at under SCRIP for updated schedule information, scrip forms, or news.
