BPS Gift Card Fundraiser

 It’s once again time for Brookside Place School Gift Card Fund Raiser! It’s fundraising while you shop!

You can purchase gift cards from popular retailers through Scrip and use them for your everyday purchases. BPS earns money with each gift card purchased. This is a wonderful option for holiday shopping.
Simply, buy the gift card and use them for your online or in store purchases. There are even small denomination amounts that are perfect for holiday tipping – it’s a win for you and a win for our children!
Here is an example of how it works, if you purchase a $25 GAP gift card, Scrip gives 14% on that purchase for a total of $3.50 which goes directly to the BPS PTA.
This is not limited to BPS families as friends, relatives and neighbors may also purchase the gift cards. Just send in the completed form with your child and they will drop it into a bag in their classroom. Arrangements will be made for those without access to a BPS classroom, including students who attend virtually.  The deadline to hand in your form is November 4th. You will receive the gift cards by November 13th. 
Happy shopping and remember it’s all about the children!
You can access the form below:
