Need some gift ideas? How about gift cards?!? If so, please start here! |
|
|
 |
Buy gift cards for your own shopping or buy the cards to give as gifts to friends, families and teachers! You pay face value but HSC receives between 1.5% and 20%! You have two options for ordering your cards - All-Paper Ordering or On-line Ordering! Both require a check, but the online ordering will help to expedite your request and you'll have an online record of what you order! Paper Ordering: Download the Order Form here, insert the quantity of cards you want (the rest self-populates), print, and return your order form in the front office (with a check) by Friday morning. You will receive your cards the following Friday! On-line Ordering: Just sign up on the Great Lakes Scrip Center at glscrip.com and click on the "shopwithscrip.com" icon in the upper right-hand corner. Then click on the green Family Sign-Up box to create your account, and use the Van Meter School code when you're prompted - the code is 576L54E91L382. From there you can browse through hundreds of stores and online sellers, and you'll easily see many that are offering current Bonuses that will provide even greater earnings for our school! After you've processed your order, just print the final list and leave it (along with your check) in the school office by Friday morning to receive your cards by the next Friday! |
