It is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age). Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three traditional membership divisions.

The program achieves the BSA's objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness. Click on the image above or this link to visit Troop 491's Website.

Get ready to place your Scrip order on Tuesday, August 30, 2011. This is a great fundraiser that everyone can participate in by incorporating certificate/gift cards into your daily shopping. We all need gas, eat out occasionally, buy clothes, shop Walmart/Sams Club etc. Yes, you get money for the school by just doing what you would do everyday, anyway. The best part of this is that you can earn credit to be applied to your tuition at the same time. Last year we had many families that participated. A few of them even received a whole month of tuition free. Pay for the certificate/gift cards now and use them when you are ready. They also make great gifts! All you have to do is have your order form filled out and handed in by 8:15 Tuesday morning. You will have your cards by that Friday.
In an effort to conserve paper, we ask that you go online at www.GLScrip.com to view the entire retailer listing. At the home page, click on the “Retailer List” tab located at the top of your screen. We will be happy to provide anyone with a complete hard copy of the list upon request.
If you have enrolled in the monthly auto bank debt program for your tuition, any credit you earn from Scrip purchases can be adjusted by the school bookkeeper, Christy Hatcher. Please contact her at the school (244-2556) on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8:30 & 12:00 to make any arrangements.
We would like to thank the entire Scrip team for making this program successful last year! If you have any questions, please contact Gwen McDonald 247-5620 your new Scrip Coordinator.
Happy Shopping!
Your Scrip Coordinator

St. John School Website
St. John School Website is maintained by Bruce Fornes (dostaboy@bellsouth.net) as a volunteer service to the school. If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions, please feel free to e-mail me.
Non-Publish List
St. John School maintains a Non-Publish List. These are students whose parents have asked that their children's names not appear on the website. There is a form in the Registration Packet that a parent must fill out to have their child added to this list. This must be done during each current school year since the list is not maintained from year to year.
