Scrip Gift Card Updates

** New Raffle ~ Win up to a $200 Target Gift Card

** Last day to buy scrip gift cards ~ Monday 6/13

** Teacher Redemption ~ Last Day 6/17


After much consideration the decision has been made to no longer sell scrip gift cards (see last weeks newsletter for all the details).  

 

One of the cards we have a lot of stock left is Matt & Jeff's Carwash (we have 90 cards left)! To try to sell out of these cards, we are offering another raffle as incentive.  For every Matt & Jeff card you buy you will receive an entry into a raffle to win a $100 Target gift card. If we sell out of Matt & Jeff's by the end of the raffle, we will double the prize to a $200 Target card!   

 

How many cars do you have? How often do you get them washed? Stock up for the next 6 months, and help us turn these cards into CASH. Matt & Jeff's gift cards cost $20, and are good for the "super" hand car wash (which is a $24.99 value).

 

We are going to be selling scrip one last day, Monday 6/13:

Main Campus Parking Lot 8:15 to 9:00

MS Campus Parking Lot 2:40 to 3:00

 

Stop by Monday and buy your Matt & Jeff's cards and enter the raffle. If you can't make it one of those two times, email Joanne and we can arrange a time. Raffle winner will be drawn Tuesday, 6/14.

 

Teachers - we will be sending out an update this weekend listing any remaining balances in your accounts (and will include a list of which cards are available).  Please contact Paula next week by Friday the 17th to redeem your balance. 

 

Congratulations to Susan Mauch, our $100 Safeway Card winner from our raffle.

 

Any questions contact Joanne Covert (jecsfo@aol.com).

NEW HOT LUNCH PROGRAM FOR NEXT YEAR!

We are excited to be working with the Good Earth School Lunch Program next year.  Good Earth will be bringing healthy, organic and highly nutritious foods into the lives of our children. They, like us, are committed to the belief that good nutrition supports optimal physical growth, cognitive development and a strong sense of well being. 

 

The Good Earth Lunch Program is currently serving over 4000 students and many teachers each week.  They began their program in August of 2003s with 4 schools and have grown to over 10 schools in the Marin area, three of which are public.

 

More information will be coming later about our program but now you can check out their website for more information.
