The weekly scrip program at Alameda is a very easy way to contribute. Purchase gift cards from our school for grocery stores, restaurants, and stores. The merchants donate a percentage back to our school. Scrip is a dollar-for-dollar exchange and is good at many retailers you already visit.
Try Scrip for your shopping needs. Friends, family, and neighbors can participate too. If 400 families spend $100 per week on groceries, and they buy it with scrip, Alameda would profit over $55,000 in one school year!
Order Scrip every Monday. (If there is no school on a Monday, we typically will accept scrip forms Tuesday morning. Check the PTA Calendar for details.) Send your order form and check with your child to their classroom, or drop it off in the front entry by 9:00 am each Monday. Before we can accept your orders, you must sign a release form and return it to the school. Remember to check your weekly Alameda NewsNotes for Scrip information, updates, and a running total of profits. On behalf of the students of Alameda, Thank You for your support of this program!
Also, please sign up for eScrip. Register loyalty cards, credit/debit cards, and other qualifying electronic media, and participating merchants will automatically donate a portion of the sale to our school. Find out all the details at http://www.escrip.com or contact our school's Scrip Lead.
Important Scrip Dates are located on the PTA Calendar.
