The Creamery Dine and Donate made over $300!
SCRIP Gift Card Sale is coming!
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.
Parent / Teacher Conference Dinner Monday, November 20th
