What Are SCRIP Gift Cards???
Negotiable store gift cards that are used
JUST LIKE CASH at any store in that chain!  They are the same ones you can buy at the store, but by buying them through Loma Vista, you get credit for a % of the face value. This is now the
ONLY PTO way to earn $ for your child's 5th grade OSS Tuition.
 
How Does SCRIP at Loma Vista Benefit MY Child?
  The % listed next to the store gets credited to your child's OSS  savings account.  (100.00 (4%) - Vons Supermarket (4%)= $4) You are earning money buying what you would buy anyway!
 
How do I start? 
Select the gift cards you wish to buy, fill out the form and return to the Front Office with a check made out to the LOMA VISTA PTO
 
Orders can be picked-up in the Front Office the following Friday.
 
(Because SCRIP Gift Cards have actual cash value, orders must be signed for in the Front Office.)
 
How much can I earn for my child?
For example, the Del Crognale family has been buying SCRIP Gift cards since October and has already earned $126.00 toward Outdoor Science School next year.  They bought Home Depot cards for home improvement projects, VISA gift cards for vacation and gift purchases, Amazon gift certificates, Stater Bros grocery cards and Chevron gas cards.  They bought only what they would use and looked for stores that have a big % back (For example - Home Depot had 10% back in October!)  It was EASY!!!
