Box Tops for Education is a school fundraiser with unlimited earning potential! All you have to do is accumulate box tops from participating products and deposit them in the Box Top Can located in the front office. Our school earns $0.10 for each box top collected. If each student turns in just 40 box tops over the course of the school year, that will result in almost $1,700 for Pony! Go to the Boxtops website for a complete product listing and printable coupons.
With this program, up to 4% of your purchases at Nugget Markets will be donated back to our school. To obtain a card, fill out the request form, or leave a note to Jamie Szeto in the PTA mailbox. Register your card online, and present it to the cashier each time you shop at Nugget Markets. Multiple cards can be registered under one family member so monthly purchases earn a greater percentage.
Shoparoo is a free app for smartphones that allows everyone to raise money for Pony! Simply use the app to snap pictures of your grocery receipts to earn Roo Points, based on the purchase amount. (500 Roo Points = $1 cash donation from Shoparoo) You can also take pictures of your non-grocery receipts for entries into Shoparoo’s $1,000 and $15,000 sweepstakes.
Our school has teamed up with EWASTE4GOOD, a company that provides free E-waste pickup from your home or business! Simply go to their website and submit the online form. Be sure to type “Pony Express PTA” as the organization you are donating to. See their website for a list of accepted items. A representative will contact you to schedule your pickup date. It’s a great way to properly dispose of E-waste AND help earn money for our school at the same time!
