Welcome to the 2011/2012 School Year

What Is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, gas, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for Holy Family School!!

How scrip generates revenue for HFS
Holy Family School purchases Scrip from various Scrip vendors. Because the Scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offers Holy Family School a substantial discount. Holy Family then re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value. The discount from two to fifteen percent or more – is Holy Family School’s revenue. For example, Safeway offers a 4% discount for Scrip purcahsed. If you purchase $100 in Safeway Scrip, we receive a 4% discount or $4.00. That $4.00 is revenue for HFS.

Please consider purchasing Scrip ---- it is essentially free money for our school!
