A BIG thanks to parents and supporters who have been shopping and saving their receipts from CROSBY'S! In particular, Jenai Cohen has done a ton of work to make this program so successful for our school. Thank you!
Each time you shop and donate your receipts to our school, it earns points towards free classroom equipment, all donated by CROSBY'S!
Keep on shopping until March 31st and submit all your collected receipts to our school by April 5, 2016.
