ORDER SCRIP TODAY




The final holiday order for SCRIP gift cards is due next Monday, December 4. Sponsored by the MLWGS PTSA, SCRIP is holiday fundraiser that allows parents and other school supporters to purchase gift cards for themselves, friends, and loved ones to favorite stores, services, and restaurants with MLWGS receiving a percentage of the sale. The gift cards are worth their full face value and cost nothing extra. Gift cards make the best stocking stuffers and great teacher gifts. They are also easily mailed to out of town family and friends without the hassle and shipping costs of other holiday presents.

Order forms can be downloaded 
HERE or accessed on the MLWGS website by going to "Community" and then choosing the "PTSA and Booster Groups" option. Drop off completed orders with a check made out to the MLWGS PTSA in the SCRIP drop box located in Office 100 off of the Bluestone lobby. For a complete list of retailers (in and outside of Richmond) and denominations, you can go to http://www.unitedscrip.com and click on "Our Retailers." 


This order will be delivered before winter break.

Please join us at next week's General PTSA meeting on Monday, December 4 at 5:30 p.m. in room 153. This meeting will be hosted by Les Cook, who has taken over the coordination of Maggie Walker's unique Senior Seminar and Mentorship Program. Senior Seminars and Mentorships provide opportunities for MLWGS students to explore areas of personal interest while completing their senior research requirement. Senior year might seem far away, but parents of underclassmen are encouraged to attend, as learning about these programs now allows more time to consider the best way for your student to utilize them. Mr. Cook will present information about the program and answer parents' questions. The meeting is open to all parents and will last approximately one hour. We hope to see you on Monday!
