Fundraisers

SCRIP
Did you know you can raise money for VSAA PTSA while you shop?  All you have to do is purchase gift cards for your favorite retailers and use them in place of credit cards, checks or cash, for purchases you are going to make any way!  Each card purchased carries an associated “contribution” of  2-15% or more.  We have added many new vendors to our order form so be sure to check out our wide selection.  Instructions on order and delivery are on the form.  Questions?  Contact Terri Lufkin tlufkin@comcast.net.

Scrip order dates for 2012 will be January 9 & 23, February 6 & 27, March 5 & 19 (with orders coming home Thursday 3/22), April 16 & 20, May 14 & 21, June 4.  Orders need to be in the PTSA mailbox in the front office by 4:00pm.   Orders come home with the students on Friday.            


MAGAZINE SALES

Magazine sales for the 2011-2012 school year started Friday, September 23, 2011 and run throughout the entire school year. You can order all year long online and 45% of magazine sales come to VSAA PTSA!  If a student chooses not to receive prizes, 55% of the order goes to VSAA PTSA.

Here are online ordering instructions. 

  • Go to  http://www.aphearst.com and click on 'Shop Now'. Enter the school code: VSAA and the student's name (so they can receive credit for the order)
  • Anyone who makes a purchase online will be automatically entered in APHearst's 'Cash Bonanza' drawings - monthly drawings of $100 or $1000 and a grand prize drawing in Feb. 2012 for $250,000.  
  • Students who register at http://www.aphearst.com and send five emails soliciting subscriptions will also be entered.
  • Any time 3 or more magazines are purchased and sent to the same address (either on collection days or via the web), a tree will be planted in our school's name through the non-profit organization Plant-it 2020. 

Thanks for your support!

BOX TOPS

Every Box Top earns 10 Cents for VSAA. Just by clipping the little pink box from many products you already use, you earn money for our school. Just put them in an envelope or bag and drop them in the box in the VSAA office. Make sure a name is on your bag. The student who collects the most box tops wins a $5.00 gift card courtesy of our Main Street Dairy Queen. There are four drawings a year, and check the VSAA newsletter for the dates of the drawings. All money goes towards student grants.

You can also sign up to support our school and earn extra Box Tops for VSAA. For more information go to www.boxtops4education.com. This website also has coupons, recipes and much more. Give it a look!

You can also earn cash for our school by starting your online shopping at the Box Tops Marketplace. The same great stores you love, but we get a percentage of your purchase when you go through the Box Tops website.
