Your Help is Beyond Appreciated!

A few months ago, Jay and I decided to join the "TRIP" (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program) program at St. Catherine's. Basically, this is program that allows you to buy gift cards at church and a certain percentage goes into a fund that will be applied to Jack's tuition. Although Jack is not yet in school, we are able to "bank" the money until it is time for preschool. I was talking to my babysitter, Debbie and she said the program is great and advised asking family to use these gift cards too in order to really reap the benefits. She has 3 kids at St. Catherine's and has been a part of this program for years....it has really paid off for her. So, about 8 months ago, she inspired me to join. The best part about this program is that is costs you absolutely nothing....all you have to do is your everyday shopping and pay with a gift card. That's it really! I told you it was easy! Granted, you have to be a little bit more organized....but, as I say often, "the end always justifies the means!"

I just wanted to take a moment to thank our family members (you know who you are!!!) for actively participating in this important program with us....I am happy to say that is is really paying off and every little bit helps! Words cannot explain how grateful we are to you for being organized and as a result, helping to save for this Little Guy's tuition!!! We are very committed to sending him to St. Catherine's and really appreciate your help and support. I especially want to thank my parents. They have been pretty much using these gift cards exclusively and continually buy more at church every weekend. Jay and I are especially grateful to them this week because they are undergoing a major double bathroom renovation in their home and are paying for the entire remodeling project with gift cards through the TRIP program!! So in essence, yesterday when they bought all of the gift card for their project, they made a very nice deposit to Jack's education.....all while getting beautiful new bathrooms too!!!! What a nice win/win situation! Thank you SO MUCH, Granny and Papa! We SO GREATLY appreciate your continued participation and support in helping to fund your grandson's tuition. After all, pretty soon this guy will be off to preschool....time flies!
