Below are our current fundraising events, as well as several other effortless ways you can start help raising funds for Pony. It doesn’t take much to make a difference! As always, we appreciate your time and support in helping our community thrive.
2019-20 Shopping to Educate Program
PONY EXPRESS ELEMENTARY is part of the 2019-2020 Shopping to Educate Program.
You can help PONY EXPRESS ELEMENTARY raise money for items needed but unfortunately not budgeted for. Program runs August 1, 2019 – May 1, 2020.
Shopping at Lake Crest Village or Loehmanns Plaza? ANY STORE RECEIPT from anyone of the two shopping centers goes toward our school yearlong fundraiser “Shopping to Educate,” that includes store receipts from Starbucks, Nugget, Burger King, Marshalls, Rite Aid just to name a few stores.
Use Amazon Smile For Shopping
Our school earns 5% when you shop via Amazon Smile
Simply designate Pony Express PTA as your non-profit & 5% of the sale will go to the school.
First step is going to the site http://smile.amazon.com & bookmark the website to always use the link that will raise the school money.
Nugget Markets Scrip Program
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 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 with your Smartphone
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.
Scholar Dollars Program
Help Secure Funds for Our School Just by Voting!
Would you like a break from the seemingly endless fundraising events to raise money for things like band instruments, sports equipment or field trips?
The State of California’s ScholarShare 529 College Savings Plan is here to help!
The Scholar Dollars Program, brought to us by State Treasurer Fiona Ma and ScholarShare 529, will award more than $300,000 to California’s K-8 public and charter schools in 2019.
2019 Pony Express Fun Run
Donate to our biggest fundraising event
The 2019 Pony Express Fun Run is our biggest fundraising event where students participate in a Run-a-thon to earn money for the school.
Our GOAL is to raise $20,000!
This super fun event marries our school’s fabulous community spirit, tests of physical endurance, and generous donations from family, friends and neighbors to help our school continuously provide enrichment programs for the students, as well as to provide support for the teachers and the office at Pony Express.
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Pennies for Patients
Donate online!
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Pennies for Patients campaign is working with thousands of schools across the country to raise funds for blood cancer research–and we are one of them!
Our school has teamed up with Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to create a world without cancer, and YOU can help our Squad make a difference in this journey.
