HOW SCRIP WORKS

​

The school sells gift cards for a large variety of retailers.  Here is how it works: you buy a $100 IGA card from the school office, and its value at IGA is $100.  However, IGA donates back $5 of that $100.  The school earns $2.50, and your family earns $2.50.  We bank that money for you all year.  In July, you receive a statement with the total you earned during the year.  You can collect that money simply as “cash back” or you can apply it to the next year’s tuition.  This helps a lot of families with the July down payment.  In fact, we have a couple of families who applied over $500 to their tuition using this program and many families who reduced tuition costs for $200-$300.

 

Orders and money are due on Mondays (8:30 a.m.), and cards are distributed on Thursdays or Fridays (can be sent home with your children).

HOW TO SIGN UP AND START MAKING MONEY

​

You can simply order online at www.shopwithscrip.com.  You will set up an account and enter our enrollment code to get started. Please contact the school office for our enrollment code. I found that consistently placing my order online Sunday evenings works incredibly well.  We do keep some cards in stock in the school office (IGA, Wal-Mart, Marathon) if you forget to order and want to stop in to pick up a card or two.  We are also pleased to work with small, locally owned businesses which support the school (Rural King, Joe’s Pizza and Uptown Girls).

​

This program earns money for overall school operations, too, so it truly is a win-win fundraiser.  If you have any questions about getting started, please contact the school office.
