Sierra has a great opportunity to make additional funds at no additional cost to the school or the families that participate in the scrip program.

What is Scrip?
Sierra buys Scrip (gift cards) from Great Lakes Scrip Center. This is a company that has made agreements with many retailers to purchase their gift cards at a discounted price. Each retailer has agreed to sell their gift cards for a certain price and in turn Sierra gets to purchase the gift cards from the Scrip center at a discounted price. Sierra then sells the gift cards for the face value to the families. Sierra makes money by selling these gift cards for the price they are worth and keeping the difference for the school.

Why buy Scrip?
Most people think that you only would purchase gift cards if you were giving them away as a gift. This is not true. Many families purchase the gift cards for their own personal use. They use them for the weekly shopping at Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Safeway, etc. They are useful when filling up the family car at AM/PM, Shell, Chevron, etc. They come in handy when you go to dinner at Applebee's, Chili’s, Claim Jumper, and Cheesecake Factory plus many more.

How to place a Scrip order? Log onto shopwithscrip.com you will need to register. This is free. When you register your family you will then have access to use the shopwithscrip.com shopping page anytime. You need to make sure to choose Sierra Elementary as your school of choice. We have a school access code. This code is 67217E8F12L12. Once you do this you are ready to shop. After you place a scrip order, the coordinator will process your order. The order usually takes a few days to ship out and get entered into the computer. Once that is done the scrip is ready for pick up.

How to pay for your scrip? You can pay for scrip a number of ways. You can prepay online and then you do not have to worry about getting money to the coordinator. You can pay with a check made out to Sierra Elementary PTC. Cash works just as well. Also, we may next year start taking Paypal. Payment for scrip is due when your order is placed. You may always leave your payment in an envelope marked for the scrip coordinator at the office.
