Raise Money
for Meadows Elementary School While You Shop!
The PTA sponsors many fun events
throughout the school year to build community spirit and raise funds for our
school. Information on these programs will be published close to the time of the
events, so stay tuned!
However, several ‘shopping’
fundraising programs run all year. The best part? Participating in these
programs involves no out-of-pocket cost to you!! (We know, it sounds too good to
be true, but it is!)
Scrip is simply prepaid cash/gift
cards and certificates that all stores offer. (The term ‘scrip’ means
“substitute money.”) When you purchase scrip through the PTA a percentage of the
proceeds go directly back to Meadows – from 2 to 15% or more per card!
Last year we raised $8,000 just by shopping with scrip!! We can easily
double that if everyone participates! Click here to
sign-up, print order forms, and to learn more about the program.
Meadows offers both traditional and
electronic / online scrip. Click here
for our Scrip page and details on how to get started or contact Carol Gerken, Meadows Scrip Coordinator, at (310) 347-2974 or
cgerken@gmail.com.
We all shop; let's put that shopping to use helping Meadows! Whether you're
buying groceries, shopping online or in the store, Meadows has programs that let
you contribute to the school while you shop at no extra charge. Click
here to visit the Shopping page to learn how!
Many local restaurants hold fundraisers to benefit local schools. Click here for
the restaurants page which lists those events that benefit Meadows. (They'll
also be listed on our home page under the 'Save the Date' section.'
Thanks
for participating! Let’s make this year
a fundraising success for Meadows!
