~Scrip Orders are being placed every Monday now that the holidays are near. A popular inventory of $crip is also available for purchase before and after school every Monday and Friday 8:55-9:20 and 3:10-3:30.
$crip gives you the exact same gift cards that you would buy at the store except that Fox gets a percentage return on them. Sounds simple right? It is!

1. Download the D. Fox $crip form here: http://tiny.cc/yfGB2
2. Print out and complete the order form.
3. Send your order to school – including payment -- with your student to turn into their teacher.
