Passive Fundraising for Crocker Farm


Here's our monthly reminder about three easy ways to earn money for Crocker Farm at no cost to you.  

Collect & Send in Box Tops:   The next deadline for sending in Box Tops is Monday, Feb 23rd (or Feb 24th, if we have another Monday snowday.... ).  Box Tops can be dropped off in the collection box in the school lobby or in the PGO box in the front office.   Box Tops really add up for our school, & last year brought in more than $300.

Stop & Shop A+ Rewards:   Through the program, families register their Stop & Shop card to earn points for their school, and then the school each time the family shops at the store.  Last year, Crocker Farm earned close to $500.  If you haven't registered your Stop & Shop card yet for the A+ Rewards program, you can do so at this web site. http://www.stopandshop.com/aplus/register-card/    Crocker Farm has school ID 05194 for the program.  Family members can register to support Crocker Farm School too.   Stop & Shop (& its parent company) has stores in MA, CT, VT, NJ, NY, DE, MD, and WV. 

So far this school year, Crocker Farm has earned just over $200 in A+ Rewards.  The A+ Rewards program for this school year runs through March 19th, 2015.   There is just over one month left. 


Target Take Charge of Education:   Families with a Target REDcard can signup in the Take Charge of Education program so that Crocker Farm earns 1% of the value of all purchases.   The online signup is here.   Crocker Farm's program ID: 58644.   So far this school year, Crocker Farm has earned just over $350. 

If you are interested in a REDcard debit or credit card and don't have one yet, you can apply for one here.   REDcard holders receive 5% off on all purchases, free shipping at target.com, and 30 extra days for returns (some restrictions apply).

Direct Donations:  In addition to the passive fundraisers mentioned above, the PGO accepts donations year-round to help fund our activities.  All the money we raise goes to support Crocker Farm students, families, and teachers.   We help subsidize field trips to make them accessible to all students, and fund enrichment activities and materials and school community events.  To give, you can write a check to the "Crocker Farm PGO" and leave it in the PGO box in the school office, or donate online here:  Donate_to_CF_PGO.   Every donation is greatly appreciated.
