Help Purchase Classroom Supplies with Amazon and eScrip 

Each year the PVSD PTO pays for classroom supplies for every student in the district using funds raised through the eScrip and Amazon.com programs.

To make ensure your Amazon purchases contribute towards our schools,
simply click here: Amazon.com, then bookmark the page and use that bookmark to start your shopping trips on Amazon.com. You must enter the website through this specific link. Portola Valley School District PTO will receive a minimum of 4% of every purchase made through this method and you should see no difference in your shopping experience. 

And don't forget to sign up for eScrip! Just go to www.escrip.com and register your credit cards and Bianchini's loyalty card. Please make sure to direct donations to the Portola Valley School District PTO. Then just shop at local participating merchants, like Bianchini's (use your loyalty card registered with eScrip) and PV Garage (ask to contribute through eScrip when at PV Garage). PV Garage is the only auto repair shop within 66 miles of PV that participates in eScrip and Bianchini's is the only grocery store in our area that supports our schools through eScrip.
