Fundraising - Support Our School!
A Note from the PTA Fundraising Chair
Fundraising does not always mean door-to-door pizza and wrapping paper sales. There are many other ways you can help raise money for our schools, and a lot of them cost you nothing at all! There is so much “free” money out there available to our schools, and one of the PTA’s goals this year is to maximize our earning potential. We need your help. Here are a few examples of how you can help raise money for our PTA and schools. Please spread the word to family and friends!
Joel's Painting and Handyman Services will donate 10% of any new customers from Bel Pre or Strathmore
Make a Direct Contribution to the PTA. This is the easiest way to financially support the PTA. All donation amounts are greatly appreciated. You can send a check to school with your child (please make checks payable to BPSPTA), or make a check/cash donation at the PTA table during one of our events.
Register your grocery store rewards cards. Earn FREE cash for our schools simply by registering your Giant, Safeway and/or Harris Teeter rewards cards with each store’s school rewards program. When you use your store card, a percentage of your purchase amount is donated to the school(s) of your choice. You can register your cards online with the following information (please note that you must re-register your card every year):
- Safeway School Rewards Program (powered through eScrip): Register your card at www.escrip.com Bel Pre/Strathmore Elementary School ID#6676411.
- Harris Teeter Together in Education Program: Register your VIC card at www.harristeeter.com
Register your Target Red Card. By registering your Red Card with Target’s Take Charge of Education program, Target will donate up to 1% of your Red Card purchases to your school of choice. Bel Pre ID#58094, Strathmore ID#58197.
Collect Box Tops and Labels for Education and send them in to school with your child. If you would like to bring them yourself, there are boxes available in the front office of both schools. The PTA will also be able to collect them at all school functions.
Shop online. Through online eMarketplaces such as www.onecause.com, www.escrip.com, and www.boxtops4education.com, you can shop at some of your favorite stores while earning money for our schools. Participating merchants vary from website to website, but can include names like Macy’s, LandsEnd, Amazon, Expedia, Walmart, Best Buy, GAP, Bloomingdales, Kmart, Kohl’s, and so many more!
