Hello Families-
Wanted to let you all know that the most recent scholastic order is in. I will have orders packaged in paper bags in Beth's class tomorrow. I will also put the new catalogs in the take home folders. In order to get the next order by the Holiday break, we are ordering online by November 30 (Beth may move that to a later date maybe, she will let you know).

SCRIP News
There have been many communications via email about the SCRIP program at our school. I'd like to take a moment to explain to you why it so important for families to get involved. SCRIP is a national fund raising program. SCRIP is an easy and painless way to give money to Trillium. When you order SCRIP, you order gift cards from various local merchants who have discounted these cards to TFT. You pay face value for the cards, nothing more. TFT, then, gets to keep the profits. Percentages given back to the school aren't huge, but the more we order, they add up fast. More information can be found at
Our biggest sellers are New Seasons and Fred Meyer. At the moment we have New Seasons on hand every Monday and Friday morning. I am working on making that happen with Fred Meyer as well. I know it is difficult to budget and to have a check book available at the right times to get SCRIP that is why we also have a SILVER drop box in the front lobby on the glass case to the right. There are order forms there as well. You can drop your order anytime. If your order includes New Seasons or Fred Meyer, please include your contact info so I can get it to you sooner than the regular monthly order dates. All other gift cards are ordered and picked up from the SCRIP office once per month.
Sometimes budgeting is the hardest part. So, I am available via email or phone to make special arrangements like, take your SCRIP order or deliver your order to you. For example, if you know you spend $100 per week at Fred Meyer and $100 at New Seasons but don't necessarily have $800 to fork out once a month, I can make sure to have that $200 order available to you every Monday or Friday. Make sense?
For the upcoming holidays there will be additional SCRIP orders. The next one is due next MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18 for pick up before the Thanksgiving break. Get your SCRIP to buy holiday groceries, going out to eat or holiday gifts. You can also order SPIELWERKS gift certificates by writing them on the bottom of your SCRIP order form.
Please pass the word on about the importance of using SCRIP even if it is only for groceries. If you don't see a retailer on there that you frequent, get a prepaid VISA card to be used wherever VISA credit cards are accepted.
