Who can participate?
    ~ A family with children currently enrolled at PCGS or PCHS
    ~ A family who plans to have children at PCGS someday
    ~ A grandparent who wants to help their children reduce their tuition payment
    ~ A supporter PCGS or PCHS who wants to help the General Tuition Fund to lower tuition for everyone
    ~ Anyone can participate in the T.R.I.P. program.

What does it involve?
    It means you would use gift certificates (instead of cash, checks, or credit card) to purchase items you normally buy.  The businesses involved, locally and nationally, will give a percentage of your purchase back to our school to help reduce tuition.

How often do I have to use it?
    As frequently or infrequently as you want to.  Of course, the more you use it, the more beneficial it is to you or the school.

Who is currently involved?
    From June 2006 - June 2007:
    ~   families earned over $38,000 toward their 2007-2008 registration fees
    ~   future families have total accumulated earnings of over $27,000
    ~   donor accounts have assisted other families and the general tuition funds
    Over $250,000 has been brought in since the program began in May 1996 to help reduce tuition.   Think about what would happen if the number of people who use T.R.I.P. consistently increased.  If you haven’t used T.R.I.P. yet, think about giving it a try.

How do I get started?
    Fill out the green registration form and place it in the TRIP box, located across from the school office.  If  you wish to start immediately you may include the form with your first TRIP order.   All orders are collected from the TRIP box at the designated time, currently noon on Tuesday.  Orders from the purple order form will be ready to pick up in the school office after 8:30am that Wednesday.  Orders from the yellow order forms will be available for pickup that Friday after noon.  (If you sign a disclaimer form, they will be sent home with your student during the school year).
