Scrip News!

Did you know you can raise money for our organization while doing your everyday shopping?  All you have to do is purchase gift cards from America's favorite retailers and use them in place of cash, checks, or credit cards for purchases you were going to make anyway!  Each card purchased carries an associated "contribution" of 2-15% or more.

 

Gift cards are available from over 300 national and local retailers.  Groceries, clothing, dining out, home improvement, even gasoline can all be purchased with Scrip.  An organization of 150 families easily spends between one and two million dollars a year on these purchases.  If they do the majority of this shopping with Scrip, they can raise as much as $40,000 to $80,000 per year for our organization - without spending an additional penny!

 

Here's how to get started:

 

Visit Great Lakes Scrip Center Logowww.glscrip.com to find a list of the 300+ retailers available.

 

Place an order by downloading the attached order form and turning it in to the school office with your payment.

 

You may also place an order online by visiting www.shopwithscrip.com .Go to the green Family Sign Up box on the left side, and click "Create Account".  The Enrollment Code for Wallace is FB3DLBFB2257L.  Your payment must be forwarded to the school office by the order due date for that month.

 

You can also order and pay online with PrestopayGreat Lake Scrip will immediately debit your checking account for the face value of your order, plus a small convenience fee of $0.39, and hold that payment until our order has been released by the school Scrip Coordinator.
