Development

This year at St. Francis, we have a variety of opportunities to support our school and mingle with our families and friends:

SCRIP Program - Those of you who have purchased gift certificates on line have seen how very easy it is and know how this “non-fundraiser” can raise a lot of money. 
Click here to register and start shopping with SCRIP. There are hundreds of vendors and we also have Publix Supermarkets and Pinch-A-Penny.  Orders are placed every Monday at 8:00am and will be available for pick-up on Friday afternoon.  Special thanks to Danielle Stone, who is serving as our SCRIP coordinator and Kay Webb our Marketing Director.  All the profits that are raised are split between your family and the school.  Please call me if you have any questions.
