SCRIP
is a program in which merchant gift cards are purchased at
full face value. They are then spent at full face value at
the merchants’ stores.
Good Shepherd Catholic School makes
its profit from buying these gift cards at a discount from
the merchants. This discount is the PROFIT we make for the
school. 
We carry gift cards for many of the
stores including grocery stores, gas stations, movie theaters,
airlines, department stores, etc. Every day shopping becomes
a moneymaker for our school.
We ask every family to either buy SCRIP
and generate $200 profit or pay a $200 assessment fee.
Example: You buy
a $25.00 SCRIP card for Home Depot, the profit return on Home
Depot is 3%, so .75¢ goes towards your family assessment.
Once your assessment reaches $200, you have satisfied the
Good Shepherd requirement for your family.
