One Day Without Shoes
St. Patrick School is participating in a service project which involves collecting shoes for People’s City Mission. This project is sponsored by Cornhusker Bank. Families are asked to donate any size or kind of shoes even if they are torn or dirty. The shoes that can’t be use are sold for recycling material. There will be a donation receptacle in the atrium from August 31-September 12. Students will be able to go without shoes in their classrooms on September 11 and can also wear crazy socks that day! If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Neujahr, diane-neujahr@cdolinc.net.

The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you buy from Casey’s and use their rewards program you can simply turn your points into a donation to our school.

SCRIP
What is Scrip? “Scrip” turns everyday shopping into cash for the St. Patrick Church and School. Purchase gift cards at face value in advance to use at checkout, instead of paying with credit, debit card, check or cash.
How Does It Work? Purchase gift cards at face value from local merchants who designate their own discount percentage ranging from 1.5% to 30%. The discount amount translates to profit for the St. Patrick!
- $50 Raising Canes gift card at 30% = $15.00 St. Patrick profit
- $50 Marcus Theatres gift card at 8% = $4 St. Patrick profit
- $100 Walmart gift card at 2.% = $2.50 St. Patrick profit
Click here for the SCRIP order form. SCRIP can be purchased at the parish office or after weekend masses.
