SCRIP

SCRIP is one of the easiest ways to generate income for Lakeshore PTO and YOU! While shopping at stores you normally shop, you can earn cash back towards your child’s school lunches, book fair, field trips, spirit wear and more without any extra cost to you!

***SCRIP Brand List, Agreement and Order Form files are attached at the bottom of this page***

Here’s how it works…

1. Order your gift cards from Lakeshore Scrip for face value. You will need to sign a Scrip agreement with your first order of the year.

2. Lakeshore Scrip buys the gift card from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount. This varies depending on the retailer (usually between 2% and 15%).

3. The difference between the cost of the gift card and the face value is credited 80% to your family account and 20% to the Lakeshore PTO. You may choose to receive your portion of the difference as a cash distribution (twice a year), a tax deductible contribution to the PTO or a credit to be used for school expenses such as registration fees, field trips, lunch accounts and school pictures.

4. You will receive a gift card in the exact cash denomination you purchased. Each store will have their own card. For example, purchase a $20 Kwik Trip gift card; you get a $20 Kwik Trip gift card.

For example, if you order a $100 card which has a 10% rebate, you will give Lakeshore Scrip $100 and receive a $100 card. Lakeshore scrip will purchase the card for $90. The $10 difference between the face value of the card and the purchase price is credited at $8 to your family account and $2 to the PTO. Your choice on the scrip agreement will determine how your portion of the profit is distributed.1.

Scrip orders are due in the Scrip order box in the lobby near the front entrance by 3:45 on Wednesdays. Orders are done weekly and will be ready for pick-up or to be sent home with your child the following Thursday. Some on hand inventory of Scrip is available at the school on Wednesdays during school hours in the office. When you need money from your scrip account to put more funds into your student's lunch account, pay registration fees, buy spirit wear, pay for a field trip, etc. contact Toni Lanier at 864-992-4923 or lakeshorescrip@gmail.com and she will take care of the payment from your account. It's that easy!
