Yearbook Volunteer
Parents, we need volunteers to help layout the St. Jude Yearbook. All you need is a computer, internet access, and a browser to run the yearbook layout program. A graphic art or project management background is helpful, but not necessary.

Training will be provided. Please email Kelly Meek <kmeek@sjsindy.org> if you can help.

If you have photos of activities at St. Jude like sports or school events, please share them with Kelly with a flash drive or through a Google Drive or something similar so we can use them in the yearbook.

An adult leads the lesson and typically 30 to 45 kids attend. Scheduling is done through our Ministry Scheduler for CLOW, similar to servers and other ministries.

Scrip Holiday Gift Cards
Did you know you can raise money for St. Jude and your child’s tuition without spending any extra money?

You can also purchase the gift cards for Christmas, teacher or coaches gifts. The gift cards have rebates ranging from 3% to 25%. Scrip users can choose how they divide their rebates among the PTO, Tuition Assistance, Social Justice, their child’s tuition or cash back. The Scrip company now allows users to pay with a credit card for a fee. More information on the Scrip program can be found on the St Jude web site at https://www.sjsindy.org/scrip.
