Fund Raising
Easy Fund Raising Ways to Help Walker Students
The following is a short list of some easy ways to help raise much needed funds for the Walker Parent Teachers Organization (PTO). The PTO helps fund activities such as the Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), Art Center, Author Visit, Carnival, Community Dinner, Hawaiian Night, Artist's In Residence, Internet hook-ups, and Staff Appreciation Lunch.
Scrip
Scrip is substitute money which usually comes in the form of gift certificates. If used in place of money when making purchases from participating merchants, Walker School will get from 5% to 15% of that value. In the past three years, Walker has generated about $10,000 from Scrip, but we could do better!
Different merchants handle Scrip differently. For fast food restaurants such as McDonald's or Subway, to purchase Scrip, please visit Melissa Katsikis in the Main Hall every Friday. For Advanced Photo, simply tell them you want to buy Scrip for Walker School before they total your purchases. Remind family members to do the same.
Each participating supermarket works a bit differently. Here's a brief explanation:
1. At Shop 'n Kart, it's best to flag down a clerk before going to the check stand, so that they can find the proper person to sell you the amount of Scrip you need.
2. At Safeway, you need to register your red Safeway card at escrip.com.
3. Albertson's connects the tan Community Partnership cards (designating Walker PTO as a beneficiary) with their Preferred Shopper card.
