What
Is SCRIP? SCRIP is a term that means “substitute
money”. When you
purchase SCRIP, you’re purchasing gift certificates and
prepaid cards that are used just like
cash. You can use SCRIP to purchase everyday expenses like food,
clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn
revenue for How
SCRIP generates revenue for you When large amounts of SCRIP are purchased from grocery stores,
department stores, and other retailers with cash up front, the
participating retailers offer a substantial discount.
BCS buys the SCRIP at a discount, and re-sells the
certificates to families like yours for full face value.
The discount ‑ from two to fifteen percent or more –
is BCS’s revenue. The
revenue is then split, 50% to the Teacher Endowment Fund and 50% to
the program of your choice – athletics, band, choir, drama, etc.
or to your student’s particular graduating class to be used for
class trips in the future. This
gives needed funds to very important programs and help to keep the
fees for these lower. This
program benefits you and BCS directly. SCRIP is "shopping cart fundraising”SCRIP
is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell
anything. BCS families
produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway.
Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be
purchased with SCRIP. Check
out the attached list for merchants. Availability
SCRIP
will be available for purchase on Thursday and Friday mornings
