No Pain We Gain Fundraisers
We’ve begun an exciting new fundraising program for tuition abatement and the Maumee Valley Parent Association. It’s called "SCRIP," and it’s the fundraising program that works while you shop.
is simply a word that means "substitute money" – in other words, SCRIP is gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our SCRIP and SCRIP SCOOP program including Kroger, Giant Eagle, Panera Bread, OldNavy/Gap, Shell, Pottery Barn and many, many others.
Giant Eagle Apples for Students will be giving us points during the 08-09 school year. Sign up now on your Giant Eagle Advantage Card with the school code 4351 and Maumee Valley will be able to accumulate points that can be used to "purchase" things for the school. You only have to sign up once, and then you just shop as usual.
MVPA is accepting donations of used operating or non-operating CELLULAR PHONES, their BATTERIES and INK-JET Cartridges for recycling. We are requesting the assistance from our MV familes, friends and welcome business and corporate support. The Parent Association will receive payment for each item donated. Collection Boxes are placed in the LS, MS, US and Advancement office.
Take Charge of Education Target Program
You can sign up for the Take Charge of Education program by going to www.target.com/tcoe, visiting the in-store kiosk, or by calling 1-800-316-6142.
