Introducing Scrip
What is it?
Scrip is Grace Christian School's simple fundraising program using gift cards from popular retailers. The school purchases these gift cards at a discount and resells them to parents for the face value of the card. The difference in price is retained by the school. this program replaces previous fundraising efforts which often focused on parent-student door-to-door activities selling a particular product which may not be needed by the buyer. Supporters who purchase Scrip are buying only those items that they would normally use.
Scrip has been designed as a convenient tool to help parents offset the cost of the required fund-raising fee, allowing familiesto pay off the required amound as they purchase everyday needs.
Once the fundraising fee amount has been reached, the family will then start earning back fifty percent of the card premium to be returned to that family in June in the form of their choice of gift cards from our wide array of popular retailers.
Where To Get It
Scrip is available just inside the school doors every school day from 8:45-8:55am and from 3:00-3:30pm. You can also email Mr. Thompson (nthompson@gracechristianschool.ca) to place an order which will be put aside for you.
Special orders are required for amounts over $200 for gift cards other than grocery and gas. Special orders must be prepaid and placed by 3:30pm on Tuesday for pickup on Friday. Although this is the normal turnover time for orders, we cannot guarantee three-day delivery.
