SCRIP ORDER FOR THE HOLIDAYS
The last Great Lake Scrip Gift Card order for plastic cards before winter break is due Friday, December 6 by 3:00 p.m. Please consider your holiday shopping and dining at this time! You can order on-line at www.shopwithscrip.com if you have an account, pay by check (must be delivered to the Scrip box in room 100, Valenta William's office by 3:00 p.m. on Friday), by credit card (there are no Scrip fees for using your credit card if you place your order on December 5 or 6!), or by Presto Pay. If you don't have an account, you can use a paper order form and pay by check or contact Laura Dysart at scrip@mlwgsptsa.org for our enrollment code or any questions. This is a perfect way to give back to Maggie Walker in the giving season. There are also $5 and $10 gift cards available now. Families have raised $643.93 since the beginning of the school year- let's keep up that momentum as it costs you nothing extra. Let those retailers give to our school! Cards will arrive the following week and arrangements can be made for pick up at school. You can order Scrip Now with participating retailers anytime. The certificate will arrive to you digitally. Look for either the (S) on the retailer product list or the ! icon when you click to order Scrip Now items.
