Scrip cards are gift cards – just like you buy at the store. When you purchase Scrip, a percentage of your purchase goes into your Band student’s account. Your cost for the Scrip cards is simply the face value of the gift card. But retailers sell the cards to us a discount and that discount goes to your student’s Band account. Every retailer has a standard discount percentage.
For instance, if you purchase a $25 Scrip card from Barnes and Noble, they sell it to us at a 9% discount. 25% of that 9% discount goes to Cedar Springs Music Boosters, and 75% goes into your student’s account! That was an easy way to make $1.69! With just a few Scrip purchases during the year, your student can have enough money in their account to pay for next year’s band camp fees, trips, reeds, etc. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
Scrip cards are available for hundreds of retailers, and are great gifts for birthdays, graduations, and Christmas. Or use them to get gas, groceries and school clothes at your usual locations, including Wal-Mart, Speedway, American Eagle, and hundreds more! Click here for a list of retailers.
Scip orders are due in the Band room on Monday and will be placed on Tuesday. Your order can be picked up the following Monday at Band practice or it can be sent home with your student. If you would like more information, contact Scrip Coordinator Patricia Eary.
