What Is Shop For The Wolves?
Shop For The Wolves (SFTW) is a fundraising program at Wildwood Forest that
involves buying pre-paid shopping cards for all kinds of local stores and
restaurants (ex. Starbucks, Kohl�s, Food Lion, Chili�s, BP Gas). The cards
you purchase are used just like cash. You can use them to purchase everyday
things like food, gas, clothing, and other essentials. With every purchase,
you earn revenue for Wildwood Forest!
How does Shop For The Wolves generate revenue for Wildwood Forest Elementary?
Because the cards are purchased with cash up front, the participating
retailers offer a discount to us. The Wildwood Forest Elementary PTA buys
the cards at a discount, and sells them to families like yours for full face
value. You pay $10 for a $10 shopping card and the discount (from 2 to 15%)
is our profit. It costs you nothing extra! Last year we raised $1,700. Help
us raise even more this year! We can�t do it without you!
Question #3 (blank)
Shop For The Wolves is a popular fundraiser because families don�t have to
sell anything. We profit when you use the cards to make regular household
purchases you would make anyway. The cards also make great gifts � don�t
buy a gift certificate from a store, buy it from us! The program provides
one-stop shopping for gift certificates from many stores. Groceries,
clothing, toys, gifts, restaurants, even gasoline can be purchased.
How Can I Get the Cards?
There are two ways to order SFTW.
1) Order forms will come home in the Monday Folders. The order form lists
the most popular merchants, but also provides an area you can use to write in
merchants that aren�t listed on the form. The complete list of available
merchants can be seen at www.glscrip.com/retailer_frame.htm . By the due
date, return your completed order form with your check made payable to
Wildwood Forest PTA in an envelope marked �Shop For The Wolves�. Your
child�s teacher will drop this order in the �Shop� mailbox in the mailroom.
2) Online order is now available through ShopWithScrip.com. The online order
program is used in place of turning in an order form for SWTW. Any family
can use ShopWithScrip � however, to place orders, you have to create a free
account at ShopWithScrip.com and identify yourself as a member of our school
with the enrollment code shown below.

After your order is completed, print the order confirmation page and submit
it with your payment, made payable to Wildwood Forest PTA, to your child�s
teacher. Your child�s teacher will drop this order in the �Shop� mailbox in
the mailroom.
Orders are placed on Wednesday, and ready on the following Monday. You can
pick up your order in the school office from the receptionist or we can send
it in your child�s Monday Folder. It�s that easy!
