Make SCRIP Count for 4th Grade! Send us to Fort Vancouver for a Field Trip!

Here is a great posting forwarded on from my colleague, Bret Biornstad,  who is so good at this kind of thing:


Here is an example of how you can maximize the proceeds. Let's say there is a book you'd like to buy at Barnes and Noble. So you spend $50.00 on Barnes & Noble gift cards from the scrip order form, Fisher's Landing gets 9% and you get $50.00 in gift cards-nothing extra out of your pocket. After you get your giftcards, you go to GoodShop and type in Fisher's Landing as your charity. So you place your order through GoodShop to Barnes & Noble and Fisher's Landing gets another 3% of that order. If your order is over $25.00 you get free shipping. GoodShop also has coupons so you might save some money on your purchase. Of course you can also use GoodShop without using scrip. Just go their website and see all of the stores that are represented, just about any place you may think of; clothing, travel, food, etc. I have bought books, shoes and even airtime for my phone through GoodShop.

Now 9% and 3% are not much but they do add up to much more when you consider how many children attend our school. If every family ordered a minimal order every month from places they shop at anyway like Fred Meyer, Safeway, Gap, Old Navy, Penny's, Home Depot, etc. it would greatly benefit our students. Let your aunts, uncles and grandparents know about it. Look for local businesses to support for higher percentages back to us.

Order a few gift cards from the scrip order form every month and save them for times when you need gifts like birthdays, weddings, and holidays. It can be your own little private gift savings account. The holidays are coming!
