Scrip = free $$$

Scrip is a great fund-raiser for OC and your opportunity to receive a tuition rebate toward your child's education. There are 2 ways to participate

Pre-purchased Scrip is "substitute money"
You receive a gift card or certificate for the full face value (you pay $25, you get $25) from over 100 local grocery stores, restaurants, specialty and warehouse stores, travel, entertainment and gas. Please see the attached order forms (Order Form) for all participating vendors. Scrip is used just like cash.
