TUITION REDUCTION INCENTIVE PLAN (TRIP)

Gift cards available on a first come, first serve basis. Checks and cash accepted. Questions? Contact Mary Sall (895-5535) or Jenny Walters (875-6075). 

Have your tuition reduced through your everyday shopping!  Just a little planning ahead is all you need to do, and you’re off to a great start with this rewarding program!

Participation in the Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (TRIP) is available to all parents considering Christian education or presently involved in Christian education.  Over 370 retailers participate by refunding a portion of their sales to Christian school parents!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS…The TRIP Committee buys certificates at a discounted price and then sells them to parents who order and buy these certificates at face value. The discount, or rebate, is then credited to the family’s tuition account. 

TRIP is a completely parent-run volunteer program designed to benefit first the parent, then the school.

TRIP TIMES…are every Tuesday*

          9:30am-9:45am (in the kitchen)    2:45pm-3:45pm      6:30pm-7:30pm

Orders must be placed by 7:30pm on Tuesday and will be available the following Tuesday during TRIP times.

*Please note:  If there is a holiday or snow day on Monday or Tuesday, TRIP is held on Wednesday.  During the summer, TRIP is held every other Tuesday.

NETWORKING…. Friends, neighbors, other family members, grandparents, etc., can help you just by putting their orders and checks in your envelope, or they may set up their own account by assigning their TRIP credits to benefit your family’s tuition account.

FUTURE FAMILIES…Don’t have a child in school, yet?  This is perfect for you!  Earnings can exceed a year’s tuition before your child even gets to school and then keeps helping out throughout his/her years through high school.
