St. Bernadette Manna Program

                             2011/2012

Welcome back to school. 

              We’d like to inform you about St. Bernadette Manna program.  The St. Bernadette Manna program’s primary purpose is to allow all families a chance to help reduce the cost of their child’s Catholic Education.  The Manna program offers all of the school families the opportunity to earn tuition credits by purchasing gift certificates and using them instead of cash when shopping.  This is how the program works.  Stores participating in the Manna program sell us their gift certificates for use in their store. (There are many popular stores who participate in the program, like Lagen’s, Jewel, Ultra Foods, Kohl’s, Wal Mart, and many, many more.  There are over 100 stores that participate in the program.)   The certificates you purchase are just like cash and are not returnable. Our program buys these certificates at a discount price, but the certificates are worth their full face value when you shop with them.  After program expenses, that discount is passed on to you.  Tuition credits will be given to you in the form of statements issued on a quarterly basis.  This amount should be deducted from your tuition payment.  The school keeps none of the credit you earned.  No one else benefits from the purchase but you as it is posted directly to your account; however, you can have others purchase on your behalf and be applied to your account.

Manna certificates can be purchased at the Manna office located in the Rectory.  The Cash & Carry hours are:

                                                Wednesdays -6:30 – 7:30

                                                Sundays -    9:45 – 10:45

Please remember that you can place an order every week and have the items by Wednesday’s sale or sent home with your child from school on Thursday.  Also, please note that we reserve the right to limit the quantity of the cash & carry items, as we only have a limited supply on hand.  If a large denomination is needed, please place an order.  Manna order forms are available at the School office and at the Rectory office.  All orders must include payment by check or cash.  All order forms need to be returned to the Manna office during the Wednesday or Sunday sale, to the school office before 11:00 am on Friday morning or the Rectory by Sunday 11:00 am to be filled and available at the next Wednesday Sale or delivered through school on Thursday.  An enrollment form must be completed by each family in order to participate.

An example of how easy the program works is listed below.  It is up to you how much credit you will earn.  The more you use it, the better credit you will earn.

Purchase Jewel $400 per month (@5% credit)                        Earns $20.00 per month

Purchase Kohl’s $100 per month (@5% credit)                       Earns $  5.00 per month

Purchase Rosangelo’s $40 per month (@10% credit)             Earns $  4.00 per month

Purchase Speedway Gas $100 per month (@4% credit)          Earns $  4.00 per month

                                    Total Credit for one month                            $33.00

                                    Total Credit for the year                                $396.00

This is one program in which you can get something for nothing.  The manna program, if used on a regular basis, can help reduce the cost of a catholic education.  It costs you nothing extra to shop this way!  If you are available to assist the Manna officers by working a cash and carry sale, please contact Tina Brettman.  You will always be working with a Manna officer.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions please call Tina Brettman at 309-5296 or Gina O’Connell at 346-9841.   The Manna officers are Tina Brettman, Joanna Hughes and Gina O’Connell.  Thanks.

1.      ShopWithScrip.com is an online tracking program.  This new program will take 30% off of the total rebate amount that has been earned for each quarter for administration fees.  At the end of each quarter, a statement including your total purchases and tuition credit will be created.  Please note that SBCA and religious education tuition credits are paid directly to St. Bernadette.  All Catholic High School and Catholic College users will need to pick up their check and statement from the Manna office during C&C sale hours.  At no time will a check be written to another grammar school or personally.  If you choose “Savings” and your child does not attend SBCA or it’s religious education program, your Manna credit will be considered a donation to the “Tuition Assistance Account.”

2.      ShopWithScrip.com offers St. Bernadette Manna participants the opportunity to place orders online from the convenience of your home or office.  Participants can place their orders online and pay using presto pay (with a 39 cent fee/transaction) or participants can order online and print out a receipt to accompany their payment that you send to school or to the rectory office.  Paper order forms can still be turned in as well.  All orders and payment MUST be turned in to the school office by 11:00 a.m. on Fridays when school is in session or to the rectory office by 11:00 a.m. on Sundays in order for the order to be released and placed and ready for deliver either that Wednesday night at the C&C sale or Thursday through SBCA.  Presto Pay orders online must be placed by 11:00 a.m. as well.

5.      If your check is returned because of non-sufficient funds (NSF), you will be charged a $30 fee payable to St. Bernadette Manna.  After two NSF checks are tendered on your account, your Manna ordering privileges will be limited to cash or money order only.

6.      Manna certificates are the same as cash, and should be handled accordingly.  St. Bernadette Manna program will not be responsible for certificates that are lost, stolen or misplaced.  Manna certificates are purchased on your behalf, and are not returnable.  Please verify your order before submitting online, before leaving the C&C sale or immediately upon receipt of delivery.

8.      Each family will be provided a unique customer ID number (First three letters of last name, first four numbers of your house address).  This number should appear on all orders submitted to ensure accurate recording. 

9.      All Manna forms can be printed from the www.sbschool.us website under the Tuition tab.  Cash & Carry sales will continue at their usually time of Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30 p.m. and Sunday mornings 9:45 -10:45 a.m.
