Help Our Local Animal Shelters

Please consider helping two fifth grade students with their Genius Hour Project by donating to our local animal shelters.  Camp Companion and Paws and Claws are two organizations that rescues, nurtures, and finds homes for cats and dogs in Rochester.  The problem is they often don’t have enough supplies to meet the needs of the animals.  You can help relieve some of the stress caused by lack of supplies by donating new or gently used cat/dog supplies such as: Purina Cat Chow, Purina Kitten Chow, Scoopable Litter, Litter Scoops, toys, beds, canned food, paper towels, bleach based cleaners, etc. There is a gray collection bin in the main foyer, in front of the office.  Please direct any questions to Katrina Milbrandt and/or Sasha Penheiter in Mr. Ruffin’s 5th Grade class.

 Purchase SCRIP at Conferences  

Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”.  When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, gas, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our organization to support technology and PLTW at Lincoln. .

How scrip generates revenue for you

The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non‑profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers.  Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount.  Our organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value.  The discount ‑ from two to fifteen percent or more –  is Lincoln’s revenue.  Remember, If you purchase a $10.00 Kwik Trip card you get the full amount.  So spend $10.00 and get $10.00.  Use SCRIP to purchase thing you would usually purchase with cash or check. 

Attached is a listing of SCRIP cards we carry in the office and the Amount of the Rebate.  Print it out and put it on your refrigerator as a reminder
