Keep using Scrip this summer!

Any money earned on orders placed before July 1st will be included in this year's earnings and can be used towards tuition credits for next school year. Orders placed after July 1st will begin accumulating your earnings for the program next year.

You can still place orders for physical gift cards all summer long! You can choose to ship some cards directly to your home, or you can choose for them to be delivered to St. Matthew- those items will be available for pickup at the ECC. Of course you can keep purchasing and using e-gift cards at any time!
