New Giftcard/Scrip Fundraiser Dates Set

The Winter/Spring 2011 Giftcard/Scrip fundraiser order dates have been set. Click on the Scrip Dates link in the right side column to view them.

Giftcards are a great fundraiser, because you order giftcards for just what you need and 100% of the money you spend comes back to you.

It's simple to order scrip. Pick up an order form outside the school office, fill it out and return it to school with your payment. Orders are processed on Tuesdays (see which dates we order scrip) and can be picked up on Friday mornings at school. You can also download a more comprehensive scrip order form from www.ttsd.k12.or.us. Can't get to school to pick up your scrip? We can deliver, just contact one of the scrip representatives listed on the back of the giftcard/scrip order form.

Haven't tried this fundraiser? Try it and see how easy it is. Again, you only spend money for giftcards that you need. Have your family and friends try scrip/giftcards too.

Another bonus--Half of the profit from your giftcard purchases go into an outdoor school account for your family.
