SCRIP

You can help Christ Lutheran School through items you already purchase every week!

How about buying your gas with a gift card? Choose from several different brands.

What about going out to eat! Like Olive Garden or Red Lobster! Many more to choose from!

There are actually over 100 different companies to choose from!

Don’t have a child or relative at Christ Lutheran School but would like to help? Consider designating your funds to the Tuition Assistance fund or the Undesignated Fund for future needs!

How it works:

Scrip is a term meaning “substitute money” and is a universal name for real and negotiable paper gift certificates or prepaid debit cards that are used just like cash. The scrip is issued by national and local retailers where many of us already shop. Scrip can be used to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials; and with every purchase revenue can be earned for Christ Lutheran School.

CLS SPO has been selling gift cards through the SCRIP program for quite a while as a fundraiser.

CLS families can direct 50% their SCRIP sales’ revenue to a child’s tuition account, the CLS Tuition Assistance Fund, or the School’s Undesignated Fund.

There are forms available in the church basement for designating your funds and ordering SCRIP cards.
Remember all orders are due on the 15^th of the month and will be available on the 20^th!
Orders need to be dropped off and picked up in the Kids of Christ Preschool Room in the school.

Please fill out a Student Tuition Designation form to submit with your first order. If you ever need to change your designation, simply submit a new form.

If you have any further question, you can contact Marci Sperber or Heidi Steuber.

**Now available, ONLINE ORDERING!!!*** See below for instructions.

ONLINE ORDERING: This is actually a free system that scrip offers which will make it much easier to keep track of each family's earnings. Here is what you need to do:
1. Go to shopwithscrip.com and set up a family account.
2. After setup you will be asked for a passcode. This links you to CLS. Use code 315L18467576.
3. Enter your order by 3pm on the 15th of the month. (You can enter it anytime before the deadline!)
4. 2 Payment options:
a. You can do as you normally would and drop a check off at the school.
b. OR you can pay Great Lake scrip company by setting up a direct debit through your checking account using their secure system, prestopay. (FYI... there is a 15 cent charge added per transaction... which is less than a stamp or gas for that matter :) ) Prestopay does take a few days to setup and verify... so if you want this option make sure to do it well in advance of the 15th deadline.
