Scrip Gift Card Orders Due Nov. 12
The CSS PTO is again offering families the opportunity to earn money for our school by purchasing gift cards through the Great Lakes Scrip Center (GLSC). These gift cards are the same ones you purchase in stores, with the added benefit that our school earns money for each gift card sold.
Here’s how it works:
You pay face value for a gift card. Due to the PTO’s nonprofit status, the GLSC can then sell the gift card to the PTO at a discounted rate (discount varies by retailer). The difference between the value of the card and the discounted rate is money earned for our school to use to support various programs throughout the year!
For example:
| You Purchase | You Receive | CSS Receives |
| $25 Bertucci’s gift card | $25 Bertucci’s gift card | $2.50 (10% of gift card value) |
| $100 L.L. Bean gift card | $100 L.L. Bean gift card | $16 (16% of gift card value) |
New this year: Order and pay online!
We are offering families the option to order and pay online. Online ordering gives families access to a wider variety of retailers and gift card denominations. ln addition to physical gift cards, electronic gift cards and reloadable gift cards can also be ordered online. See below for more information about ways to order/pay.
