School Store is BACK!
We are doing the SchoolStore Fundraiser again this year. It is a REALLY AWESOME PROGRAM. that goes on all year long! If you've heard of E-Bates it is a similar program. It is a shopping website that kicks back money directly to our school. For example, if you want to do some shopping at Kohl's, you log on to the School Store and go to Kohl's and they will give a percentage to our school if you do end up purchasing something. Parents also have the choice to just purchase School Store gift cards for their teacher so they can purchase supplies/curriculum off their online store.
Packets explaining the program further should have come home with your child yesterday. If you have any questions, please call the office at 366-5984. Thank you for supporting our wonderful school, students, and staff!
This is what the School Store has raised so far for our school and gift cards that have been donated to our Teachers!! Keep it up EAGLES!
