New Program Makes Every Purchase Profitable for Our School!

WHAT IS SCRIP?

SCRIP ... what's that? ... and how could it possibly help us?  Scrip actually means anything used in the place of money.  In this case we are talking about gift certificates from local and national vendors.  How does this translate into a fundraising program for our school?

Here are a few things that it doesn't mean! ... No door to door selling!  No boxes of merchandise to ask our friends, family and neighbors to purchase.  No embarrassment when it arrives and we must deliver it back to the families who were generous enough to purchase something they didn't want or need in the first place!

This is a program that allows each parent to weekly make a choice to direct their normal purchases for essentials ... milk, eggs, gas, clothing ... to those stores that will partner with our school.  It is that simple.  No selling, no extra expense, just focused spending.  Spending that brings profit to our program.

HOW DO I HELP?

Every year we face the same dilemma ... meeting the needs that go beyond the budget the school can possibly provide.  Every year we face shortfalls, and the bottom line is that the needs of our children sometimes suffer.  As parents we want to help but we need direction.  We are striving to put into place a program that will give us a continual source of help.  By combining our spending dollars and working together, we can create a powerful source of revenue for our children, this school, and the programs that will make a difference for not only our children, but the children who will follow in their steps.  It is our responsibility to leave a legacy for them.  Let's get started!

HOW DOES THIS PROGRAM WORK?

UnitedScrip purchases millions of dollars worth of gift certificates (SCRIP) yearly from national vendors.  Our school purchases these same certificates from UnitedScrip at a discount.  We in turn offer this Scrip to our parents at face value.  You receive dollar for dollar the value of cash for these items.  Example: $25 of a Gas Debit Card will purchase $25 of gas at any of its pumps, nationwide!  It's that simple!

SCRIP SCHEDULE.

Pick up an order form in the school office or from your child's teacher.  Take a look at this form and think about your week.  Where will you shop this week?  Where will you eat out?  What essentials will your need?  Does the car need gas?  Who has a birthday party coming up?  Who needs shoes?  What groceries do you need?

Fill out the form and attach a check to cover the items you have ordered.  Return the form and check to your child's teacher or the school office.  The certificates will be delivered or ready for pick up on Friday afternoons.
