Buy SCRIP!
The PTO has generously agreed to put all profits earned from the Scrip Program (Gift Cards) towards staff salaries!
- Through the Scrip Program, families and staff members can purchase gift cards from hundreds of stores and a percentage of every card goes towards these PTO profits.
- The PTO will place an order the first Friday of each month. The next order due date for scrip is February 3rd. Gift cards are available within a week of purchase.
- It's easy to purchase gift cards for your normal monthly expenditures (Wal-mart, Shell, Target, Chipotle) as part of a routine. You are encouraged to use scrip for all your everyday purchases, such as gas, food, and clothing, in addition to gift giving. Every card adds up to profit and benefits our school.
- All Gift Cards are full value, meaning $25 used to purchase a gift card is worth $25 in the store.
