Fundraisers

The Gregory Gardens PTA manages a yearly operating budget that pays for numerous programs, all of which benefit our kids. Raising these yearly funds is no small effort. It takes a lot of parent volunteers, families, the support of our staff and community, all coming forward to contribute what they can. We understand that people are busy and finances are often tight. So that is why we offer so many choices and levels of fundraising involvement that everyone can find a way to support our kids programs.

E-SCRIP Is about the easiest way to help raise funds for our programs. It cost's you nothing and it's so easy that you can earn funds while doing your normal shopping. Merchants such as Safeway, Macys, Payless, Office Max, etc. give our school anywhere from 2-8% of our individual purchases. You can also sign up credit cards and earn for any purchase.

Box Tops for Education are coupons on boxes of General Mills products. We earn 10 cents for each box top that is turned in. Unless it's a bonus box top then you earn more. Cut the logo off of your product and send them to school. Your teacher can turn them in or there is a container in the school's office. Want to know all the products to shop to earn box tops?
