Tahoma School District
PROGRAM SUCCESS! "School District Highlights The Safeway Stores eScrip program, which makes contributions to schools based on purchases made by customers, raised nearly $28,000 for Tahoma Schools in 2009. The program is provided at no cost to the customers or the school. Customers can sign up at www.escrip.com and designate their choice of Tahoma School District schools to support. “Fund-raising in the current economy is a challenge. Having eScrip as a funding source has helped our PTA’s considerably as they raise funds to provide activities and experiences for students that the school district can’t because of its own budget limitations. Thank you!’ - Kevin Patterson, Public Affairs Officer, Tahoma School District
COORDINATOR QUOTES!
Thanks to eScrip our school is able to participate in plays and purchase materials for our art and other programs. Enrollment is so easy and quick! We are so excited and happy that our local grocery store, Safeway, and eScrip have partnered together to provide these badly needed funds to our school! Thanks eScrip! - Amy Perez, Lake Wilderness Elementary School
Thanks to this program Rock Creek Elementary School uses these funds in so many different ways by being able to help the classrooms when supplies are needed, for class fieldtrips to help cover the cost of transportation and so many other programs it is hard to name them all and this is done throughout the school year. This program is so easy to use for family/friends and once they are signed up they don't have to do anything else but keep using their club cards and the money keeps coming all year.
- Johanna Montgomery, eScrip, Chairperson,
As the eScrip coordinator for three Tahoma schools I appreciate the resources that are made available online. Coordinating marketing, membership and sales data are critical to our success with the program. These online tools have allowed us to focus more efficiently on growing our contributions so that we can give back more to Tahoma schools.
In these challenging economic times our PTA values the funds we earn with the eScrip program which are, in part, used to support our health and nutrition program goals. Thanks to eScrip program funds our PTA recently sponsored several student athletes', giving them the ability to participate in physical education and after school sports. We continue to use eScrip contributions for health programs which provide opportunities to keep our district healthy. Thank you eScrip for your support! Sincerely, - PTA eScrip Chair |
