BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
Our school is participating in the Box Tops for Education Program. All we have to do is collect the box tops from ANY General Mills Cereal box! Simply send them to school with your child. We will have a collection area in the building for students to drop them off. By participating in this program, our school will earn money to support student activities and programs. Go to www.boxtops4education.com for more information! Help us reach our $1000 goal!!!
CARTRIDGES FOR KIDS
Please help recycle! We are recycling printer cartridges (no laser cartridges), used cell phones, laptops, PDAs, iPods, and various other items as a year-round fundraiser at Fuerstenau. Our school earns cash just for recycling these items! For more information, please call the school office or visit the Cartridges for Kids website at www.cartridgesforkids.com
SCRIP PROGRAM
What Is Scrip?
Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday items like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our school.
How scrip generates revenue for you
The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value. The discount from two to fifteen percent or more – is our organization’s revenue.
Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising”
Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.
