fundraising opportunities

(updated August, 2008)

St. Anne Catholic Grade School is active in many different fundraising programs. Monies collected will help fund classroom needs, teacher's needs and help contribute to the overall costs of running our school.  The following organizations help our school by providing monies to us when we participate in these programs:

Campbell’s Labels for Education: This program works on a point system and allows our school to cut proof of purchase labels from over 150 Campbell products. You turn in your labels to the school and we will build up points to be eligible to receive free merchandise such as printers, copiers and other supplies. Please remember to provide the whole label with the UPC code.  To find out more information as well as all of the eligible products, visit www.labelsforeducation.com/default.aspx.

General Mills Box Tops for Education: We receive 10c for each box top collected. Simply cut out Box Tops and send them to school. We are grateful to Janet VanDeVelde who collects and packages them for us. For specific products that carry these box tops, you can go to www.boxtops4education.com/ for more information.

Market Day: Market Day is a monthly food program that earns funds for our school by ordering from over 180 easy-to-prepare items from their brochure. For over 30 years, Market Day has been providing convenient, healthy foods at a value for families. Market Day’s mission is raising funds for education, and since its inception, they have helped raise over $400 million for America’s organizations. Each month your child will receive a Market Day brochure from the school. Simply mark the items you would like and send it into the school, or you may order online. Due dates and pick-up dates are located on the brochure. Our school receives 10% of each order, sometimes more from specific sales. We have raised around $2000 each year with this program. Parents are needed each month to help organize and distribute the orders, which are paid for and picked up at the school. For more information, contact Sheri Yanik.  To view their site, go to: www.marketday.com/.

Meijer Community Rewards: This program was developed to meet the growing needs of schools and religious groups to raise funds without product or gift certificates. Supporters of this program need to apply for a Meijer Credit Card or Meijer 1 Card. You can apply for these cards at any Meijer store, or you can join online at Meijer.com/rewards. When signing up, you will need our 6-digit organizational code, which is 249036. If you already have a Meijer Credit Card, you need to make sure that you have this new code applied to your card.

When this card is scanned at the checkout register, a percentage of the purchase totals are rewarded to our school – automatically. Purchases made with a Meijer credit card earn 1%. Purchases paid with a PIN-based debit card or cash with a swiped Meijer 1 Card earn 0.5%. You can only use these options for credit toward our school. Your card will reward our school when you shop at all Meijer locations, Meijer Gas Stations, Meijer Convenience Stores, Meijer Car Washes and online Meijer purchases.

Scrips: Scrips is a program that means “substitute money” – in other words, scrip is gift certificates you buy from national and local retailers. Scrip participating retailers, such as JCPenny, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster, and many more, agree to sell you gift certificates at a discount. Member families like yours buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and your tuition account is credited the difference as payment. You can enroll online at www.shopwithscrip.com. Please check in the main office for your enrollment code .The program coordinator is Sheri Yanik. All orders must be placed online and the checks for the gift certificates must be paid by check to St. Anne School. Checks are due in the office by 12:00 p.m. every Monday each week. See Mrs. Yanik for more details.

Target Redcard Take Charge of Education: By simply shopping with your Target Visa or Target Card, we receive a percentage from the amount of each purchase you make. Target will send us a check with the percentage amount we have acquired. Make sure our school is designated on your card so that we may receive the proper credit when you use your Target Credit Card. To participate or to see how much has been contributed towards our next check, please visit the link: http://redcard.target.com/redcard/page.jsp?contentid=rc_benefits_tcoe


Recycling Projects: Ink Cartridge/Cell Phone. We receive cash for each empty cartridge and cell phone turned in. There are collection boxes available in the school office. This is a great opportunity to help the environment, and an easy way to save money for our school. For more information, contact Mrs. Yanik. Link: www.fundingfactory.com

Recycling Bins: Another recycling program is our recycling bins outside. We receive money for every ton of paper we collect. Please remember to recycle your paper with our school. Link: www.paperretriever.com
