How It Works
Scrip refers to gift certificates or gift cards. Our school is able to purchase gift cards from hundreds of local and nationwide retailers at a discount, which you then buy at face value. The difference is our profit. These are the same gift cards that you would purchase if you went to the retailer directly. The beauty of Scrip is that you put your regular household shopping dollars to work. By purchasing these gift cards before you shop for your everyday items - like groceries, gas, clothes, and restaurants – we raise money, without you having to spend a penny extra. It’s just that simple.

What’s the Catch?
The only “catch,” if there is one at all, is that you’ll need to plan your shopping a few days in advance for your scrip order to be processed and delivered. You buy face value, you get face value!
Getting Started
Simply return the order form and check with your child to school on Fridays. Be sure to visit www.ShopWithScrip.com to see a full list of participating retailers. A new order form will be sent home each week with your gift card order.
You may also go to www.ShopWithScrip.com and click “Family Sign Up” to set up an online account. Use the Southeast Elementary PTO Code 9ELEA8E637983. Then go to the ‘SHOP’ tab to order your cards! Families using online ordering can pay by check, or order online and pay using PrestoPay. Please note - PrestoPay takes 2-3 business days to activate so your first order may need to be paid by check.
When and How Will I Get My Cards?
Each participating family will be provided a durable envelope for sending checks and gift cards back and forth between families and the PTO (replacement envelopes are $2). You may choose to have your gift cards sent home with your child or you may pick up the gift cards on Thursdays at the south entrance (YMCA doors) between 7:40 – 7:55 a.m. or 2:55 – 3:10 p.m. Please let us know if other arrangements need to be made.
I Have More Questions!
We encourage you to take advantage of the wonderful benefits offered by this on-going fundraiser. If you have questions, please e-mail [email protected] or contact Natalie Sipes at 515.777.9891 or Jean Boger 515.963.1231. Thank you in advance for your support!
