From volunteering in a child's classroom to manning the concession stand at a Valley soccer game, from actively participating in the Valley School Parents' Association to sharing the skills of your profession with students in the classroom or at your place of work--there will always be opportunities for parents, grandparents, students and friends of Valley to volunteer their time. In fact, we count on that.

From the school's inception, the involvement of dedicated volunteers has not only ensured that the school has run smoothly, it also provides a continual example to our students of the importance of giving back--to the school, to the community and to each other.

If you are willing and able to volunteer your time and your talents, please contact the school office for opportunities.

SCRIP is fund-raising system that costs the user nothing! Dozens of retailers and services are represented in the SCRIP program. You buy a gift certificate at face value and the retailer returns a portion of the value back to Valley. In addition to the traditional ordering process described below, we keep a supply of frequently purchased cards in the school office. Retailers include Borders, Farmer Jack, Home Depot, Lowe's, J.C. Penney, five (5!) different gas station brands, and various fast food restaurants.

How do I order? SCRIP certificates may be ordered on a weekly basis. You may place your order using the Valley Order Form, enclose your check and turn this in Mondays at the Valley School Office.

When will I receive my order? Orders are generally available for pick-up on Friday of the same week. Students may pick up their family's SCRIP order at the Valley School Office with written approval from the parent. SCRIP certificates are just like cash and should be treated as such. Your delivered order will include your merchant certificates, a copy of your original order form, and a new order form.

How do I pay? Payment must accompany your order. Either checks or cash are acceptable. We do not take credit cards. Please make checks payable to: Valley School Parents Association.

What is the cost of the SCRIP certificates? SCRIP certificates are purchased at face value. There is no minimum order size and no handling fees are ever charged for small orders. For Example: A $25 VG's certificate would cost you $25 and is fully redeemable at all VG's stores for that amount. VG’s provides a 4% discount to the school. Once purchased, SCRIP certificates may not be returned to Valley for a refund unless the error was a mistake on the part of the VSPA volunteer.

Are there SCRIP program updates? he number of participating merchants in the SCRIP program is constantly changing. Also, the "percentage of profit" offered by each merchant is subject to change. As such, we will try to keep you informed of these changes via Friday notes. On occasion, merchants will have special promotions and increase their "profit percentages" for a short period of time. We will also try to alert you to these "specials".
