Scrip for Tuition
The SCRIP program lets people buy gift cards to area businesses at face value, and provides St. Anastasia Catholic School with a percentage of the profits.
Parents are able to use a percentage of the SCRIP cards to defer tuition costs. Those with children attending St. Anastasia School or St. Anastasia Religious Ed. Program may participate in this program. A portion of the profit generated by your family’s purchases is credited to your tuition for the next fiscal/school year. For example, purchases made now until May 31st will be credited to the next school year. SCRIP is available in the parish office or after Masses all year long. Friends and family can participate as well.
