Easy $ for Chickering

Without changing our habits, we can earn money for Chickering Elementary School!  Please take a moment to review the programs below.  Some may be familiar to you, some not.  With very little effort, we can earn some “easy money” for our school!

• Box Tops for Education. Box Tops for Education makes it easy to help our school earn extra cash.  Simply find Box Tops on hundreds of your favorite products, clip them and send them to school.  Each Box Top is worth 10¢ to Chickering, and they add up quickly!  There will be a Box Tops collection envelope located outside of each classroom.

• EcoPhones.  EcoPhones pays Chickering money for used consumer electronics  such as old cell phones, ink jet cartridges, DVDs, laptops, MP3 players, video game consoles, digital cameras, GPS devices, digital picture frames and portable DVD players. Your used items may be tax deductible and will be recycled in accordance with EPA regulations or refurbished and sold.  100% of the proceeds will help Chickering.  A collection bin is located in the Chickering lobby.

• Target’s Take Charge of Education.  Target will donate 1% of your REDcard purchases at Target and Target.com to Chickering.  You can pick up an application for the Target REDcard at the store or apply on-line.  Designate Chickering by using school ID #59099. (http://www.target.com/)

• PatronBooks.com.  The next time you are shopping for books, check out PatronBooks.com, a new online bookstore carrying over one million titles.  PatronBooks.com sells all of their books at list price, but will allocate 20% of every purchase to Chickering to support our library. Please be sure to designate Chickering as your chosen school when making your purchase. ( http://www.patronbooks.com/ )
