It will open at 8 p.m. and remain open until May 17 at 8 p.m. You can use this link: https://www.charityauctionstoday.com/auctions/Trinity-Christian-School-Silent-Auction-11867 Feel free to share with your friends and family! You can begin previewing items now.

While we certainly miss the time we would have enjoyed at our annual Benefit Event, we hope you and your families will enjoy this special online show together in its stead, as well as checking out the online auction.

SCRIP DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 17 This year’s Scrip deadline has been extended to May 17, rather than May 3. This gives everyone a

little more time to meet their family fundraising obligation for the year. Please only order through

Scrip Wallet and ScripNOW format. These are both electronic formats that you can use right away.

Keep making those grocery purchases and other necessities through the Scrip program! The last

chance to meet your family’s minimum is May 17. After that, the remainder to be raised will be

posted to your Smart Tuition account. Orders made May 18 and later will be applied to the

fundraising commitment for 2020-2021.

REENROLL FOR 2020-2021!
