Shoparoo
As many of you remember from last year, Shoparoo is a fun & easy way to fundraiser for Grandview. Thank you to everyone that contributed last year and those of you that continued to Shoparoo over the summer! Together we collected 114,380 Roo Points! That equates to $228.76! Way to go Grandview Families! Shoparoo automatically restarts at the end of August, so a new year has just started. Let’s see how much we can raise this year!
If you’re wondering “What is Shoparoo?” Don’t worry, a flyer will be sent home early next week to explain. In the meantime, save ALL of your receipts! Every receipt counts towards Roo Points or contest entries.

New items will be reordered, but we can’t promise they’ll be here before the Homecoming Parade; so order soon to ensure you have your Grandview Spirit Wear in time!
