Union Academy is partnering with Advantage Cartridge to recycle ink

cartridges, cell phones, laptops, iPods and laser toners. We can

earn money and be good stewards to our earth at the same

time. Please bring in your used electronics from home, family and friends and bring them to our drop box near the front desk at both the

Scrip is a year-round fundraiser where you purchase gift cards. Union Academy purchases Scrip gift cards at

discount between 2-15%. Families buy the Scrip gift cards at face value—UA keeps the difference.

Retailers include: Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Lowe’s, Chick-Fil-A, Olive Garden, Gap, Amazon, and 100’s more.

Last year, total sales of $87,000 generated $4,376 of profit. Only 10% of UA families participated! Just imagine, if

only 200 families spend $110/month and our school earns an average of 5% on those purchases, we could make

$15,000 in one year!

How to Order Scrip Gift Cards:

1. Fill out the Scrip order form (found on the Scrip page on the UA website)

2. Attach payment to form and send with your child or drop off at either campus.

3. If cards are available immediately, they will be given to you that day or the next. If cards need to be ordered,

they will be available by the end of the week.
