Fundraisers

Online Auction
Our PTL will be hosting an online auction fundraiser again this spring, from Sunday, April 16th to Sunday, April 23rd. We'd love to have baskets from both individuals and local businesses! If you'd like to donate a basket, please drop it off at school by Friday, April 14th.

​Need an idea? In previous years, baskets centered around a specific theme have done well. Examples could include: arts & crafts, car activities, baby care, kitchen goodies, body care, fishing supplies, etc. There are also lots of fabulous ideas you can find and copy after a quick online search!

Scrip Gift Cards
This is a year-round, no-selling program that allows families to raise money for our school - it's just another way to pay for everyday purchases using gift cards in place of cash, checks, and credit cards. It's convenient and simple, and best of all, the school gets a percentage from each card you buy!

Since the program was started at Our Savior's in November of 2015, we have raised more than $3,000 for our school!

How Scrip works:
  • Families buy retail gift cards through the school's Scrip program at face value, choosing from 300+ national retail stores (e.g. Walmart, Target, Applebee's, Holiday Gas Stations, Kohl's, and many more)
  • The school buys the gift cards at 1-20% less than face value (this varies by retailer)
  • The difference between the face value and what the school pays = earnings for our school!

Paper order forms are available on the school secretary's door and can be sent home with students upon request.

You can also use their RaiseRight app and shop right from your mobile device. Check out our video demonstrating how the app works:
