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!
