SHOP FOR PASCHAL
HELP EARN CASH & SUPPLIES FOR PASCHAL
The following stores offer easy ways for you to help the Paschal PTA raise money and/or earn supplies to help our teachers and students this year. The more you participate, the more it adds up for Paschal!!
Here is a list of where to shop and how to participate:
 Albertson's- each time you shop, be sure to use your "Community Partner" card (available thru the PTA). If you already have a card, it is still good and you can continue to use it to earn cash for Paschal each time you shop! Paschal earns 1% of the total of each grocery bill.
 Tom Thumb (Charity #7021) - register your Tom Thumb Reward Card for Paschal by completing a "Good Neighbor Charity Addition/Deletion Form" available at the Tom Thumb customer service desk or thru the PTA, and then swipe the card each time you check out. If you've previously registered your card to Paschal's number, you do NOT have to do so again. Each time you use the card, Paschal earns 1% of the total of each grocery bill.
 Kroger (NPO/Charity #84748) - register your Kroger Plus Card by going to this website and following the instructions: www.krogercommunityrewards.com. If you don't already have an online account, it will prompt you to sign-up before you will be able to register your card. If you use your phone number at the register, you can call 800-576-4377, and select option 4 to get your Plus Card number. Please note, ALL Kroger Plus Card members must re-register their card to their chosen charity EVERY year in order to participate.
 Staples - link your Reward Card to PHS teachers who have a Teacher Rewards account. Visit staples.com/rewardaclassroom for full details and to select the teacher/s you'd like to earn extra rewards for. Purchases made in store, online or by phone all qualify. Participating teachers earn 2-5% in rewards depending on your purchase.
 Office Depot(Back to Schools ID#70096947) - help Paschal teachers earn rewards toward free supplies when you shop online, by phone or at a local store. Simply give Paschal's ID# at checkout and 5% of your qualified purchases will be credited to our "Back to Schools" account.
 Target - (School ID#97991) if you have a Target REDcard, link it to the Paschal school ID # by going to this website: www-secure.target.com/redcard/tcoe/home and following the prompts. Paschal will earn 1% back from all purchases made using your REDcard.
 Box Tops for Education - place your collected box tops in a labeled envelope or bag and drop them in the PTA mailbox (located inside the passageway to the left & behind the main office).
If you know of other programs that will help the community earn money or other benefits for Paschal, please let me know. And please offer your thanks to all of these participating retailers for their continued support.

AVID Successes!
The 20 AVID graduates of 2013 set an amazing goal for future AVID classes to endeavor to reach. These 20 students were offered a total of HALF A MILLION DOLLARS in government assistance, scholarships, grants, work studies, etc. (no loans)! 19 of the 20 will be college students in the fall and 1 joined the Marines.
All 20 students will be the first in their families to attend college and our goal in AVID is to continue to support them until their college graduation. Our military gentleman plans to pursue his advanced education during his military tenure.
I would like to thank everybody for their support of these students. Because of you, these students are able to take the first step in realizing their dreams for the future.
If you would like more information about AVID and what we do, please visit www.phseducationalfoundation.org
Of course, you are more than welcome to come by the AVID room for a visit (244).
