What Is eScrip?
Try this…walk over to the trash can, grab all the cash in
your wallet, and throw it away. That’s crazy, right? You wouldn’t
waste money like that, would you? But that’s exactly what
many of us are doing right now – because we are not enrolled
with eScrip for John Green! Local businesses will donate THEIR money
to our school – but only if we tell them what school should
get the money!
eScrip has proven to be an incredible resource for raising money
for our schools, as participating businesses contribute a percentage
of your grocery loyalty cards, credit cards, and debit/ATM card
purchases to the school, group or organization of your choice. These
small earnings add up to about $1000 a month to the school so your
participation is crucial. Schools that are really effective in registering
for eScrip programs receive over $4000 a month. All you have to
do is register your cards -- Macy's credit cards, VISA, MasterCard,
American Express, Safeway Club Cards, and many more -- with eScrip.
We need all families to change the beneficiary to John
Green Elementary Pfc. For those wanting to go the extra
step, you can encourage friends, neighbors and other family members
to enroll in the eScrip program as John Green Elementary
Pfc (3300 Antone Way, Dublin, CA 94568). Our Group ID number
is 500015869.
Want to see $8 add up to $30,000?
OK, let’s do some fun math here… One PFC Board
member’s family last year created over $90 in donated funds,
primarily from shopping at Safeway. Add in a Grandma or an Aunt,
and that number easily gets pushed over $100 from one family. That’s
something around $8 per month per family – not donated by
the family, but donated by the businesses where the family shops!
Once John Green Elementary adds our 5th grade classes, we will have
well over 300 families with children attending the school. So, each
family gets over $8 per month, times 12 months is close to $100
per year, times 300 families equals…Thirty thousand
dollars!!!
Think that could benefit our school, especially with the significant
budget cuts from state funding?
So do we!! What do you say – want to help out? Enroll
