PTA

FUNDRAISING
 

There are many great ways to support Barcroft Elementary School's PTA - and they are all quick and easy! Thank you for contributing to the success of our school by contributing to the PTA!

Box Top$ for Education | Recycle Cartridges for Kids | A+ Bonus Bucks - Giant |

Safeway Club Card | Harris Teeter Together in Education | Target's Take Charge of Education

Silver Diner Eat Well Do Well


Box Tops

1.    Box Top$ for Education Program

Barcroft collects Box Top$ for Education during the entire school year. The collection box is in the Office. You don't have to worry about cutting the box tops neatly off the boxes and bags, but do make sure the expiration date shows (and that it is still valid).


2.    Greenbacks for Being Green: Cash for Recycling Print Cartridges and More

        Recycle Cartridges for Kids will give Barcroft PTA cash for returning toner and inkjet cartridges for recycling. Other electronics such as laptops, iPods, PDAs, video games & consoles, digital cameras, DVDs and GPS devices can also be recycled for cash! The website http://www.cartridgesforkids.com describes the program and includes a list of eligible items.

 

 

·         Place items to be recycled in the box marked Cartridges for Kids in the Office. Please ask friends and family to send in their cartridges too.

·         If you can't figure out if it is recyclable, don't worry. Bring it in, marked with your name and phone number. We will check if it is on the "accepted" list and let you know for future reference.

·         Please do not leave damaged cartridges. They are not eligible for recycling and they make a big mess when the toner or ink leaks out!

·         Do you know a business that would be able to participate? Business partners can recycle and help the school at the same time. If you know an office, firm or agency that would like to participate, please contact us and we will set up a system for collecting and sending the cartridges.

 


3.    A+ Bonus Bucks at Giant Food

Please participate in the Giant A+ Bonus Bucks program, which will earn Barcroft's PTA cash for your purchases. You can support up to three local schools. Every year, you must re-register your card and re-designate that funds go to Barcroft, even if you participated last year. The Barcroft school code for Giant is 02199. Use your Bonus Card number to register online.
