Scrip Program
Do you ever buy groceries? Do you ever buy clothes? Do you sometimes eat at a restaurant?
Did you know that you can contribute financially to the ministry of Immanuel Lutheran School whenever you do any of these things? It's very simple. Before you buy clothes, groceries, home improvement products, or meals at a restaurant, stop by the school office and purchase scrip cards (gift certificates that are used just like cash) for the merchant(s) where you will be shopping. Then use the scrip cards when you shop. The merchants that support non-profit 
organizations through the scrip program donate from 1-11% of the amount of money spent on scrip cards. Scrip is fundraising while you shop! See the partial list of participating merchants below.
You can designate half of the money used from your scrip purchases to help reduce tuition payments for the set of people participating in the scrip program. (Tuition reduction is just one of several designations available.) The other half of the money raised is used to make special purchases to help the school. So far, the scrip program has helped purchase computer monitors, bleachers, and a 15-passenger van for the school.
Scrip can be purchased from the Bookkeeping office while school is in session, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Scrip is closed on Tuesdays, but is also usually available for purchase after church on Sunday mornings. Scrip hours may vary during summer vacation as well as other school breaks. To make it even easier, you can download this scrip order form, fill it out, and bring it and your payment to the school's Bookkeeping Office.
Here are some great ideas on how to help ILS through the scrip program:
- Buy scrip for your weekly grocery shopping...as much as 5% of your grocery bill will go to help Immanuel!
- Use scrip to purchase gas at Safeway or King Sooper's
- Planning a big home improvement project? Buy scrip at Lowe's and 4% of what you spend will help our school
- Give restaurant scrip to one of our teachers as a double-powered "Thank You!"
- Do your birthday or Christmas gift shopping at the scrip office...fast and convenient!
