Georgia Natural Gas TrueBlue Schools Program

 

Since 2008, Georgia Natural Gas has been supporting schools with their TrueBlue Schools program. They give $5 per month to your designated school for each registered customer. PCMS has benefited from this and collected $16,820 over the years for improvements at the school. Unfortunately, they are phasing out this program over the next twelve months. BUT you can still help PCMS get funds over the next school year.   Since it will be the last year, Georgia Natural Gas is only allowing new enrollments through June 30, 2014. This means that if you are a Ga Natural Gas customer and you aren't already enrolled in this program and you want to help PCMS AT NO COST TO YOU, you must enroll by the end of June. Please use this link to enroll today. www.trueblueschools.com and click the blue button that says "start helping your school today!" All you need to provide is your GNC account number from your bill! It's an easy way to help PCMS support our students and teachers. Act fast before time runs out!
