Scrip Gift Cards for the Holidays
Why wait in lines?
Gift Cards
Stop by the office to browse our selection of gift cards for gift-giving (and keeping).  We carry many local retailers and restaurants in-house, and we have an 8-page directory of merchants, restaurants and services (across the U.S.) from which you can special order (can take 2 wks to arrive).
 
If you buy a $25 Starbucks gift card, you receive a $25 Starbucks gift card, and Starbucks will donate a percentage back to the school.  If you buy your gift cards from us, you lose the line, and our students gain a little profit.  :)
