Attention Parents:

The JFK PTO is offering an easy fundraising opportunity which will benefit the school. The school is selling Scrip Cards, which are gift cards that can be used at several stores. Currently, we are selling the following cards:

Stop and Shop Cards:              $25.00 each

Macy’s Cards:                           $25.00 each

99 Restaurant Cards:               $25.00 each

Dunkin Donut Cards:                $10.00 each

Barnes and Noble Cards:          $10.00 each

Friendly Restaurant Cards:        $ 5.00 each

Panera Bread                              $10.00 each

With Scrip fundraising, families simply do their regular weekly shopping and earn cash rebates for the school. This is a powerful fundraiser because it generates revenue through purchases we would make anyway. In addition, these cards would make a great gift for the Holiday Season.

You can purchase these cards from the main office at JFK Middle School. If you are paying by check, please write your check to JFKMiddle School, and add PTO in the memo line.

Thank you for you constant and consistent support of the PTO and JFK Middle School
