MARQUETTE -- With the Easter Bunny hopping quickly onto our calendars, Father Marquette Catholic Schools wants to remind local shoppers that they've got the perfect egg stuffer for your loved ones.

They're selling gift cards to over 100 local and national restaurants, shops and gas stations, from Sayklly's Candies to Disney World.

It's part of a fund-raiser the school has participated in for more than 15 years.  The Scrip Organization sells them gift cards at a discounted rate, and then the school resells the cards at full value, putting the difference towards school needs.

"It is the biggest fund-raiser we have, and it goes all year long," said Principal Jackie Wright.  "That's a great part of it, too, and all these local businesses are helping support our school in this way and we help support the businesses."

Father Marquette suggests stopping by the school on Fisher Street to purchase your gift cards for the Easter holiday.
