Why Do We Raise Funds?
When schools experience budget shortfalls, they must find creative fundraisers to make ends meet. School principals must marshal all their resources to help fund their schools, often calling upon the PTA to develop fundraising ideas. The school's PTA uses those funds for many projects for our kids, including after school activity buses, technology for the classrooms, assemblies, contributing to field trips to help keep the costs down, and help with many in-school projects as well.
Box Tops
Box Tops are a wonderfully simple way to contribute to the school. Many of the items you regularly purchase at the grocery store have these logos right on the box.
There is now a Box Tops app! Check out the details on the Box Tops page for details on how to get bonus box tops: www.boxtops4education.com/s/
Safeway has a new electronic Box Tops program. Check out their eBoxTops program where you can sign up and donate them electronically: www.safeway.com/ShopStores/Box-Tops-Education
