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?” Check out the instructions below… In the meantime, save ALL of your receipts! Every receipt counts towards Roo Points or contest entries. Don’t forget to ask family & friends to Shoparoo too! You do not have a child at Grandview to participate. Grama, Grandpa, Aunts & Uncles can Shoparoo to benefit Grandview!
Popcorn Fridays are Back!
What’s better than popcorn & a movie on a Friday night??? You grab the movie & we’ll make the popcorn! Today was our first Popcorn Friday, but don’t fret if you missed it! Popcorn Friday’s are every other Friday & only $0.50/bag! The next few dates are 10/13 & 10/27.
Spirit Wear
Thanks to our amazing Secretary, Kim, we have NEW spirit wear options! New items are going fast, so stop by at the next FOG event, or contact Kim to order yours now. 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!
