Shop Scrip Through Summer






Although we won't have another monthly scrip order until the fall, please keep shopping scrip e-certificates for your summer dining, traveling, and everyday shopping. If you never got around to trying scrip this year, the PTSA hopes you will consider trying it out in the fall. It's a great fundraiser that costs you nothing extra. Total earnings for the year will be shared next week. Questions, or interested in volunteering for as little as an hour? Contact Laura Dysart.
