For those who are not aware, Scrip is now called RaiseRight. Below are a few videos that explain how the program works and how Saint Mary School benefits. There's no selling, no extra time, and no extra money. Just purchase gift cards to pay for everyday (and not-so-everyday) expenses. The Amazon Smile program has been discontinued for all companies. Scrip is another great way to donate to the school.

| Saint Mary School has an amazing pre-K team. We collaborate and share ideas to give our students a positive and joyful experience at school. My favorite part of the day is when students come together at Circle Time. We share stories and experiences, say our daily prayers, and review the schedule and lessons for the day. Saint Mary students learn from one another, while also practicing listening skills, patience, and responsibility.” | |
