Box Tops for Education Fundraiser

Once again, Cross Creek will be participating in the Box Tops for Education fundraiser, and this year, a school wide competition has begun! One class per grade level will be rewarded for collecting the most Box Tops each nine weeks.

This year, our goal is to raise $2,000 or more worth of Box Tops to purchase educational materials for our school. Box Tops for Education offers three easy ways to earn cash for our school, through everyday activities such as buying groceries, shopping online, and purchasing books!

1. CLIP- Clip Box Tops coupons from hundreds of participating products and send them to school. Box Tops coupons are worth 10¢ each when our school redeems them with Box Tops for Education.

2. SHOP- Shop at your favorite online stores through the Box Tops Marketplace. Up to 8% of each qualifying purchase is automatically donated to our school. There is no additional cost to your purchase and many exclusive deals and discounts can be found!

3. BUY BOOKS- Purchase books online at Barnes & Noble through the Box Tops Reading Room. Our school will receive 6% of your new book purchases and 3% of all other online purchases.

To learn more, visit www.boxtops4education.com and www.publixboxtops.com

Community® Proof of Purchase Fundraiser

This is Cross Creek's third year collecting the Proof of Purchase seals from Community® products! If you work for or know of a business that uses Community® Coffee or Tea products, there are two easy ways you can help Cross Creek!

1. SAVE - Clip out the UPCs/Proof of Purchase Seals from Community® products from participating restraunts, hotels, churches, offices, and other businesses.

2. SUBMIT - Just turn in your Community® UPCs to Cross Creek.

These little UPCs are worth 10-15 cents each, which really adds up to major money for our school! To learn more, visit the Community® Website, and click "Cash for Schools."

Thanks for all your support!

Target Take Charge of Education Fundraiser

Good news, parents! If you are a frequent Target shopper, this fundraiser is for you. Simply take advantage of the Target Check Card, because by simply shopping with your Target Visa, Target Credit Card or Target Check Card, a percentage of the amount of each purchase you make is donated back to our school!

It's easy to apply if you haven't already. All you have to do is fill out an application online at www.target.com/tcoe or www.target.com/redcard and follow the instructions. Or, the next time you're in Target, swing by the Customer Service desk, and let them know you want to participate with the Take Charge of Education Fundraiser for your child's school. Make sure you have your driver's license and checkbook on hand. Once you receive your REDcard/Check Card, Don't forget to designate Cross Creek to receive the donations!

Thanks for making a difference in our school!
