Shop Amazon & Benefit VFMS!
You Shop. Amazon Gives!
The VFMS PTO has switched from the Amazon Associates program to the Amazon Smiles program which will allow more purchases to qualify towards our fundraising efforts. Many of you are already shopping on Amazon.com. You can support the VFMS PTO every time you shop, at no cost to you - when you shop Amazon through AmazonSmiles. Choose us as your charity, and Amazon will donate 0.5% of your  eligible purchases to the VFMS PTO.Participating is Easy! To begin shopping for the VFMS PTO, you only need to select us as your charity one time through the link at the top of the PTO website. That's it!
Choose "Valley Forge Middle School Parent Teacher Organization" as your charity.
Once we have become your designated charity, you may continue to use the link on our website to access amazon smiles or go to www.smile.amazon.com. You will know you are linked to our school when it says "Supporting: Valley Forge Middle School Parent Teacher Organization in the top, left corner. Amazon Prime members will still receive their Prime benefits!
AmazonSmile is an excellent way for VFMS PTO families to contribute to our school and our students without having to give up any extra time or money. If all of our parents who use Amazon would remember to shop through AmazonSmile, we
could significantly increase our annual fundraising without having to ask our families to do any more than they already do to support us!
