You
can help raise money for MTCS
without
spending any extra!
Middle Tennessee Christian School must
raise about $700,000 each year. These funds are needed to help with
operational expenses, to purchase new equipment and supplies, and to maintain
facilities and grounds.
We rely on MTCS supporters like you to help raise this amount. Through
your generous support of our Fall Festival, Steak Dinner, Spaghetti Supper,
Magazine Sale, and other fundraisers, we are able to meet our financial
responsibilities.
To encourage everyone to raise money for MTCS, there are several programs in
place. And, these programs don't cost you a dime! These programs are
easy and designed to be used by parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and
friends of MTCS.
For more information on any of these programs, contact Adam Coggin (acoggin@mtcscougars.org)
at 615-893-0602.
Scrip Program
The
MTCS Scrip Program allows our school to earn money from gift certificates you
order.
-
Order
gift certificates, or scrip, for restaurants
and stores where you already shop.
-
Order
forms and money must be received in the business office by 10 a.m. every
Monday.
-
Your
scrip will be available in the Business Office starting at 2:00 p.m. on
Monday of the next week.
-
Scrip
is sold to MTCS at a discount and resold to you for face value. MTCS will
make 2-25% of each gift certificate’s denomination ordered.
-
Scrip
is an actual gift certificate or card from the retailer. Rules for the scrip
depend on the retailer.
For
more information on the Scrip program, contact Adam Coggin in the Development
Office at 615-893-0602.
Kroger
Cares
Let
4% of your Kroger grocery and pharmacy bill benefit MTCS. Our school receives 4%
of all items purchased with the Kroger Gift Card. Here's how it works.
-
Purchase
a Kroger Gift Card that is coded to identify our school's account from
the MTCS business office (cards are sold throughout the year). Cost of
the card is $5.00 and can be loaded up to $500.00. (Order
Form)
-
You
can add value to, or "recharge," up to $500 on your Kroger Gift
Card at Customer Service or at the register by paying with cash,
check, or charge. (Many people put their monthly grocery money on the
card at one time to help eliminate overspending.)
-
If
you recharge at the register, you must do so before the cashier
begins scanning your items.
-
The
Kroger Gift Card is a debit card and can be used at any Kroger store and
Kroger Pharmacy in the country. It can now be used to pay for gasoline
as well. (It is great for grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends to
help MTCS. Think about the card for gifts, stocking stuffers,
emergency milk and bread runs, etc.)
-
Your
remaining balance on the Gift Card will be printed on your receipt.
-
Every
time our supporters collectively spend $5000, Kroger sends MTCS a check.
If
300 families spend $150 a week on their Kroger Gift Card, MTCS will get $93,600
a year! You spend no more than you are already spending for food and other
items. Kroger is making the donation, not you. Let's go Krogering
for MTCS!
Fast
Fixin' Home Team School Rewards
We
are introducing a new fundraising program sponsored by Fast Fixin' -- a line of
fully cooked chicken and beef products found in your grocer's freezer. The
Fast Fixin' Home Team School Rewards program makes it easy for us to raise as
much as $5,000 a year for our school. All we have to do is clip and save
Home Team logos from the back of specially marked bags of Fast Fixin' products.
Fast Fixin' will redeem them for 30 cents per logo. Click here
for eligible products. For more information, contact Lisa Richardson
(lisarichardson@mtcscougars.org)

will donate $3.00 for each empty ink
cartridge or toner cartridge turned in for recycling. A box is set up in front of the
elementary office.
