SCRIP is a term that means "substitute money." When
you purchase SCRIP, youíre purchasing negotiable gift certificates
and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use
SCRIP to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and
other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue
for our school. SCRIP is a popular fundraiser because families
donít have to sell anything. We produce revenue by making regular
household purchases we would make anyway. Groceries, clothing,
toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with SCRIP.
How
SCRIP generates revenue for Tyburn Academy
The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of churches, schools
and other non profit organizations to purchase large amounts
of SCRIP from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers.
Because the SCRIP is purchased with cash up front, the participating
retailers offer a substantial discount. Our school buys the
SCRIP from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells
the certificates to families like yours for full face value.
The discount ‚ from two to fifteen percent or more ‚ is
our schoolís revenue.
How
to place an order
To place an order you just need to fill out an order form and
enclose a check made payable to Tyburn Academy.
Forms are due at school by Monday mornings at 9:00am. There
is a drop box in the school office. Orders will be available
for pick up the following Friday. In the event that there is
no school, orders are due the next day back.
Order
forms are available online or at the school office should
you need more. From time to time we have to update our order
forms due to changes in the gift card amounts or when new
retailers are added. Orders are placed on a weekly
basis.
Remember,
the profit your family generates goes toward your voucher
points!
