Committee Description

Meet each week to fill orders for gift cards that school families have purchased.

Date: Ongoing

Chairs: Anna Maria McKenna,  Nina Lagios, Wendy Brett

What is SCRIP?

Scrip is one of two major SVMS fundraiser.  It enables SVMS families’ to purchase gift cards to over 300 retailers at a discount of anywhere from 2 to 15%.  The school is able to keep the discounted amount!  

For example:  Purchase a $100 L.L. Bean gift card through Scrip. You pay SVMS $100.  SVMS then pays Scrip $90 because L.L. Bean is offered at a 10% discount.  SVMS earns $10!

Groceries, clothing, dining out, home improvement, even gasoline can be purchased with Scrip gift cards.   Participating retailers include: Shop Rite, Stop & Shop, The Gap, LL Bean, Gary’s Wine & Marketplace, Kings, Game Stop, Amazon, iTunes, American Express & Visa Gift Cards plus many, many more. 

Every family is obligated to purchase at least $2000 worth of gift cards during the school year (Sept – June).  Alternatively, families may buy out of the Scrip program by paying $200 to HSA at the beginning of the school year.

How to place an order 

Placing an order is easy!

1.  Complete your online order by 12 midnight on MONDAY of the scheduled week.  You may place your order online any time prior to the order deadline however it must be complete by midnight on MONDAY. 

2. Print out your Order Confirmation.

3. Return your printed Order Confirmation and your check, payable to SVMS-HSA, in your Orange  Envelope (You will recieve an Orange Scrip Envelope at the beginning of the school year).  The Orange Envelope must be in the office NO LATER THAN 10am TUESDAY.  Do NOT seal the Orange Envelope.  If you prefer you can choose to set up a PrestoPay account and pay each time by PrestoPay.  See details below about PrestoPay. 

4. Your gift cards will be sent home to you in a Yellow Envelope with your oldest child on THURSDAY.  The Orange Envelope will also be returned to you to keep until your next order.  In the event you place a large order arrangements can be made to have the cards delivered.

What is PrestoPay?

PrestoPay is the Scrip equivalent of PayPal.  You can set up a PrestoPay account on the Scrip website and payment will be taken directly out of your checking account.  For this convenience, you will need to pay a small fee of .39 cents, but remember, it alleviates the step of writing a check.

If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact the school's office at           973 377 1104 or contact the committee chairs.
