One of the easiest ways in which funds are raised at Kazoo School is through the Scrip Program. In this program, parents and other supporters of the school purchase gift cards and gift certificates at face value that Kazoo School has purchased at a discount from a variety of retailers. The difference (which ranges from 2-20% of the face value of the card) is kept by Kazoo School and is put towards the operating budget of the school.

Each Family is required to earn $150 in profit for the school. After this amount is reached the school will share, 50-50, any additional profit a family raises. Many families choose to apply these profits to their annual tuition bill and thus reduce their annual expenses.

By using the Scrip program, Kazoo School is not asking you

• to spend any additional out of pocket dollars
• to change where you and your family shop to meet your needs
• to buy additional services and/or goods that you don’t want or need

Kazoo School is simply asking you to purchase gift cards to use at the places you already shop and help generate funds to support the school.

Scrip cards can be purchased online through shopwithscrip.com, or visit the School Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 8:30 A.M. to take advantage of the Express purchasing program.
