opportunity for our school to raise funds for your everyday shopping/entertainment or as gifts. Do you shop at the

same locations on a regular basis? Yes, then why not get a gift card to use as payment and raise funds for the school?

It’s that simple!

How can these retailers help us raise money? It’s simple…partnered vendors agree to sell gift cards to Scrip at a

discount. Families like yours buy the gift cards at face value and Prairie View keeps the difference as a profit. NO
