SUPERMARKET FUNDRAISERS
Earn cash for our school, painlessly, each time you use your Giant or Safeway card. For either supermarket program, you renew or register online at their respective websites. This should be done at this time of year. This costs you nothing and won’t interfere with any credits you may be earning through other shopping promotions. For Giant’s A+ Bonus Bucks program, our school i.d. code is 03687. It’s easy and can ultimately add up to significant sums for our school. The programs offer a way to be generous and thoughtful without any expense other than a few minutes’ time.

SAFEWAY ESCRIP 
Safeway cardholders must renew their commitment to their school by October 31st. Simply renew at www.escrip.com. There are many schools that have generated thousands of dollars through this program. The escrip.com program also includes many other merchants such as: Eddie Bauer, Credit Cards, cruise lines, airlines. Please take a moment and check it out. If you would like to become a new member you may also register on-line. Sign up friends, grandparents, uncles, aunts, alumni, or anyone who would like to help give back to our schools. Through October 9th they are giving 10% back of your total purchases to your designated school.

GIANT A+ BONUSBUCKS
This supermarket program started October 1st. Schools your money based on other schools participation and your purchases. Look for specially marked items for additional points for the school(s). You may designate up to three schools to recieve shared points. We are smaller than most public or other private schools. We need to have greater participation from parents, friends, relatives, alumni, and others that would like to see our school programs enriched. www.giantfoods.com
