Announcing a Gift Card Contest for October 2015
Eager to raise money for SES without spending any of your own money??
Then buying gift cards is for you!  Do you shop at Fred Meyer, New
Seasons or Target?  Eat at Burgerville, Pizzicato or McMenamins?  When
you buy gift cards to use for groceries, restaurants, coffee and more,
the stores donate a percentage to SES but you pay the same amount for
the things you buy.

Where can you buy gift cards? Gift cards can be purchased at the gift
card table in the front hall on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, or you
can place a monthly standing order which means you can choose from
many more stores, restaurants and services, and pay directly from your
bank account instead of having to remember to bring a wallet to school
to make your purchase. (Minimum $200 on standing orders.) And gift
cards never expire.

But what's the deal with the contest?  During the month of October,
the gift cards sales team will keep track of the gift card sales by
classroom, and classrooms will compete to see which one raises the
most money for SES.

What does the winning classroom get?  At the end of the month the
classroom with the most sales will win an ice cream sundae party and
the teacher for that classroom will win $100 in Powells Books gift
cards to purchase books for the classroom.  Monthly standing order
forms available in the office in the yellow envelope marked "Shop for
SES" and also on the PTSA website at
http://www.sesptsa.org/gift-cards/.  And you can always just come by
the gift card table on Tuesday or Thursday mornings.

Since you have to shop anyway, you may as well raise money for SES
while you do it—without spending any of your own money!
