The holiday season is quickly approaching and it is an excellent time
to buy scrip!  The scrip itself can be a great gift or you can use the
scrip when you shop for gifts.  Many merchants on Solano Avenue accept
Solano Avenue Association Gift Certificates and BHS gets 8%!   Below
is a partial list of participating merchants.**  For a complete list,
go to www.SolanoAvenue.org <http://www.solanoavenue.org/> 
 
Peet's cards also make handy gifts.  They come in $20 and $50
denominations and BHS makes 10%.  These are electronic cards that can
be spent down one latte at a time......
 
We also have Five Star Video, Natural Grocery Company, and Berkeley
Bowl scrip.  Five Star Video has two locations:  on University near
Sacramento and also on Solano near Nielsen at the Albany border.  Five
Star gives BHS a whopping 20% and the coupons are in $20
denominations.
The Natural Grocery Company has two locations: In El Cerrito on San
Pablo at Stockton, and in Berkeley on Gilman near Peralta.  The
Natural Grocery Company donates 6% and the coupons are in $10's.
Berkeley Bowl comes in $20 denominations and we earn 4%.
 
SO......if you shop at any of these stores consider using scrip and
bring some money to BHS.  The Development Group runs the scrip program
and it supports many activities and programs at the high school
...from LCD projectors and graphing calculators to guest dance
artists, the afterschool tutoring program, and First Step
Scholarships, to name just a few.
