Scrip is a program from which families can purchase gift cards at face value and OLG School then receives a rebate percentage of each purchase from the program. There are hundreds of businesses that offer gift cards through this program, from grocery stores to gas stations, restaurants, home improvement stores, and even Disneyland. It’s a WIN-WIN proposition! WHERE CAN I BUY SCRIP? Scrip can be purchased online at www.shopwithscrip.com. Click Register, then click on Join a Scrip Program to get started. The OLG Enrollment Code is 935D3D9936989. The other way to order is to pick up an order form at the school office or print one out from the school website at this link: http://olgweb.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SCRIP-OrderForm.pdf and then submit the order with payment to the school. HOW DO I PAY FOR SCRIP? One way to pay for Scrip is to use PrestoPay. This option will be available through your online ShopWithScrip account. Another option is to send cash or check (payable to OLG School) for the total amount of your purchase. Our Scrip coordinator will process your order after payment is received. WHO CAN ANSWER ANY SCRIP QUEST IONS? Lois Henry is the OLG Scrip Coordinator. She can be reached at 510-396-1196 or lois.henry @sbcglobal.net to answer questions or provide assistance with your purchase. New Bonus Schedule starting January 24!!
