Cedar River Montessori School Family Staff Alliance

Hello CRMS Community,

The Family Staff Alliance is working hard this year to create a fabulous and easy fundraising program to eventually support multiple areas of our CRMS community.

Our goal for this year is to completely fund all expenses related to animal care at CRMS, approximately $3000.

We’re creating an incentive for all CRMS families to help increase participation through our largest passive fundraiser with eScrip. We currently have 99 supporters and have a goal of 200 total supporters (about one NEW supporter per CRMS family).

Why should they sign up? It’s EASY –register once and CRMS benefits every time you use your club card at Safeway. ANYONE can participate. It’s a WIN-WIN for everyone as products you purchase everyday provide automatic donations to CRMS simply by participating in the eScrip program.

Follow these steps to participate:

Use the attached Power Registration form to register your family, your friends, grandparents or anybody who shops at Safeway (or Vons in CA or NV) in any state. All you need is the following information to register your supporter: Name, address, email address and grocery club card number.*

Put completed Power Registration Log in the “Browne” mailslot at school by Friday, Oct 10. I’ll count online sign-ups at www.escrip.com since August 2008, too-just note the names on the form!

Receive 1 FREE CRMS notecard for every new supporter you have on your form.

Receive 1 chance for every new supporter you have on your form to be entered in a drawing for 1 of 2 special prizes.**

**What’s the prize? One week guaranteed, first class parking for drop off and pick up in the reserved parking spot at the front gate. First prize is one week from October 12-17^th. Second prize is one week from October 20-24^th. THANK YOU Cathy Adams for generously loaning your space!

*If your supporter doesn’t know their grocery club #, they must call 1-877-723-3929 to obtain their number. We cannot process the registration without a grocery club card #.
