2. Email Kathy Webb at STS your order (kthorson@stthomasphilo.org).
3. The order should consist of the name of the retailer…the dollar amount…number of gift cards you are ordering.
4. The order will be in approximately 3 days after the submission date and you will purchase them for face value. The school will get a percentage of each order from Shopwithscrip.
5. Kathy will email you when they arrive and let you know how they will be delivered to you.
6. Submission Dates are as follows for the Christmas season:
Monday, December 6th
Monday, December 13th
Happy Shopping With STS!
*2022 STS Raffle Calendars went home today with students…we would ask each family to sell at least the five calendars that were sent home. Our goal is to sell 750 calendars before the end of January. In order for this to happen, we would appreciate if every family could help us reach this goal by selling more than the five calendars. Just email the school office to tcain@stthomasphilo.org with how many more calendars you would like the office to send home with your child. Thank you so much for your support. All of our fundraisers help keep our tuition rates affordable.
