Scrip

Scrip is a term which means "substitute for money." Scrip certificates are real and negotiable gift certificates. St. Cyril School works with companies that buy large amounts of gift certificates/cards in bulk from grocery stores, drug stores, department stores, retail stores and restaurants as well as entertainment, home repair and automotive services. These certificates/cards are then purchased by our families at face value and a percentage is donated back to St. Cyril of Alexandria School.

There are a few ways to help the school and/or fulfill your Scrip obligation:

1. Purchase Over-the Counter Grocery certificates --- Families may purchase Fry's and Sunflower certificates at the School Office.

2. Order Scrip through the School Office --- Families may complete an order form, attach a check made payable to St. Cyril School, and leave the order in the School Office. Families may also return the order form on Thursdays in the School Express. Orders are only placed on Tuesday mornings. Orders received no later than 9 a.m. on Tuesday will be ready the following Thursday afternoon and may be picked up in the School Office. (You may print a copy of the order form here.)

3. Participate in a national eScrip program --- eScrip and merchant partners like Safeway, Pep Boys, Coco's, Office Max and Macy's have created a system that rewards customer loyalty by contributing a percentage of purchases to your chosen school. You may participate by:

...registering your credit, debit and grocery club cards as supporters with the eScrip program. All you need to do is Log onto eScrip (group id #6568893) and register your debit and credit cards. Remember if you would like to link your Safeway card with eScrip, have your Safeway Club Card number available. Also, Safeway cards must be renewed every year.That may be done by going to the eScrip renewal link. For uninterrupted contributions, renew by November 1.

...shopping online. By clicking the link below to the Online Mall, you can also shop at your favorite brand name stores and automatically donate to our school. Anyone can use eScrip and benefit St. Cyril School through this link, but parents would need to register in order to track their contributions.
