SHOPWITHSCRIP.COM:
The school office carries a variety of scrip cards and can order almost anything. Go to www.glscrip.com for the complete list. The school receives different percentages back on each card purchased. If you know you’ll be shopping at a specific store (ie shopnsave, etc) or dining at a specific restaurant (ie olive garden, etc), or paying your store charge (ie kohl’s, etc), please think about purchasing them from school. Thanks for your support!
SCHNUCKS E-SCRIP CARD: If you don’t have one, contact the school office and we will get one to you. You only have to have them scan it at the time of your checkout – That’s it! Pretty easy, isn’t it?
COKE REWARDS: SSPP is registered in the Coke Rewards program. Search Coke Rewards and register to help or send your collected caps to the office. We will redeem the points at some time in the near future, hoping to add to our physical education equipment collection.
