Don't forget to order your SCRIP Gift Cards!
The FSP SCRIP Gift Card Sale is a fundraiser for FSP. SCRIP means a Non-Cash form of payment or for us means GIFT CARDS.
- Last year we used the Manna company to get our gift cards. This year we will be using Great Lakes Scrip Center.
- This program allows FSP to sell gift cards to you and get them from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discounted rate. They do this because we are a non-profit organization and this is a fundraiser for us.
- You receive actual gift cards for the amount that you paid for them.
- You can use the gift cards for your gift giving or your everyday shopping!
- I use my gift cards to get gas, go to the grocery store, give small gifts to my cousins, and buy my children's Christmas outfits. What will you do with your gift cards?
FSP will send out order forms the week of October 16th to the youngest family member in school. They DO NOT go out to every student because of the cost of printing.
- All orders will be due November 3rd so that we may get them placed and delivered to you before the holidays. You will pay FSP with cash or check. No credit card payments!
- Orders will be passed out at the school of your youngest family member during the Parent/Teacher conference days. YOU MUST PICK THEM UP AND SIGN FOR THEM! They do not go home with your child.
Spiritwear Sales Re-opening Online!
If you missed the original Spiritwear sale earlier this year or would like to get a head start on your holiday shopping visit the website (www.go2actionsports.com) between November 1-15th to place your order. Type "TIGERS" (must be all caps) in the MyTeamStore window to access all the great Tiger Spiritwear we have to offer.
In order to keep all purchases a "surprise" all orders will be brown bagged and will need to be picked up at Action Sports located at 75 Bankview Drive in Frankfort (right off of Lagrange Road) the week of December 18th. Orders will not be delivered to the school/classrooms.
Thank you, in advance, for your support and happy shopping!
