There are a number of programs at St. Jude in which you can participate to help us acquire school supplies, monies, and other benefits that we would otherwise have to draw from tuition or other sources. Here is a short list:
1. SCRIP: Click Here to learn more and order (MEIJER SCRIP NOW AVAILABLE - 4%!)
How it works: You purchase face value gift certificates for local businesses and we receive a small percentage back (from those companies) as profit. The program returns a percentage toward school families' tuition as well.
Benefit: Upwards of $10,000 per year toward school technology resources.
2. Market Day: Click Here to Order
How it works: Purchase from a selection of fine foods available, with proceeds returned to the school. Orders are made once per month.
Benefit: Upwards of $3,000 per year toward the HASA fund.
3. Target "Take Charge of Education" (school ID 6654): Click Here to Register
How it works: Register our school to receive 5% back on purchases made with your Target "RED Card."
Benefit: Upwards of $1,000 per year in cash; over $11,000 since the program began
4. Martin's "Advantages for Education" (school code 4754): Click Here to Register
How it works: Our school earns points every time you use your Martin's Advantage card. It's that simple!
Benefit: Over the last three years, we have acquired DVD players, library books, and a brand new IMAC computer worth over $1400. This is a hugely beneficial program for so little effort.
5. Campbell's Labels and Box Tops for Education
How it works: Cut the UPC from any Campbell's or Campbell's affiliated product. Return the "Box Tops" label from any participating product. These can be dropped off in the blue bins in the parish lobby.
Benefit: Box tops are returned to the school as cash (usually several hundred dollars). Campbells labels allow us to obtain P.E. and playground equipment at no cost to the school.
6. NEW (Capri Sun containers)
How it works: This works by itself. There is a bin in the lunch room that students may use to recycle ANY brand of juice pouch (no boxes). Benefit: We will receive $.02 cash for each container.)
