Heritage Grove PTO (HGPTO)
provides many extra goods &
services to benefit our learning community. Our annual membership is
just $5
per family.We are holding two larger
fundraisers this year—our Family Fun Night in October on Wednesday,
October 17,
in conjunction with the annual Fall Book Fair, and our 3rd
annual
Talent Show, to be held on Saturday, March 1, 2008.
In
addition to the above, we are also trying to fundraise
passively—making fundraising as painless as possible but also
benefitting
Heritage Grove’s students, staff and parents. We currently have three
passive fundraising opportunities that cost you
nothing extra, but provide HGPTO with benefits. Read about each below:
Target: We
have partnered with Target so that if you
have a Target Red Card or a Target Visa/MC, every purchase you make
benefits
HGPTO. If you already have a Target
Credit Card, make sure to sign up HG as a beneficiary to your shopping--USE ID# 114931. Please tell your friends and relatives
too! You do not need to live in the area
for
HGPTO to benefit. Go to www.target.com
to sign up.
Meijer:
We have also partnered w/ Meijer in
two
ways: Meijer Credit Card and Meijer
Community Rewards Card. The Credit Card
works similarly to Targets: When you apply for a card, put
Heritage
Grove PTO (org # 398975) as your organization. If you would prefer
not to have a credit card, you
can still sign
up for Meijer’s Community Rewards card, linking HG’s org number 398975
to
it. Then, just show this card w/ every
cash or debit purchase you make, and a percentage of your purchases
will be
sent back to our organization. Go to www.meijer.com
to sign up or register our
group to your card.
Simplified
Scrip: We have
improved this program to benefit you! Look for an order form when
school
begins. We will send out a paper order
form at the beginning of school, but in the meantime, go to www.simplifiedscrip.com to begin the
setup process. You can order gift cards from hundreds
of
merchants. Both you and HGPTO receive a
percentage of your purchase. You then
use the gift cards at your local merchants.
For example, you purchase a $50 gift card for gasoline from BP, Shell,
Speedway, etc. You then use the gift
card at the gas station; you receive $50 worth of gas, but both
you AND HGPTO
will receive a percentage of your gift
card purchase from simplified scrip.
Check
out their website for more details! You
can send this information to your friends and relatives and they can
use their
local merchants but still benefit Heritage Grove!
