It is that time of year again. Whether you are jumping for joy as you will now have a few moments peace in the day, or you are sad because the work load just increased, either way... schools are (will be) back in session.
In these financial times, our school children can use our support more than ever. Waste needs to stop of course. But why waste the freebies provided by big business. Look around on the web. Many of the places you already shop offer rewards points that can be applied to your local school. Food stores, general merchandise, and more can help your schools fundraise without much effort. Perhaps a few clicks of the mouse, an application there. Wouldn't this be worth the investment in our future?
It would be lovely if everyone had the power to write a large check to donate to education. But we know this isn't realistic. Yet, everyone does have the power to choose to make their purchases even more beneficial.
Not sure where to begin. Here are a few samples:
- Stop and Shop A+ School Rewards, (http://www.stopandshop.com/our_stores/bonus_bucks/index.htm)
- ShopRite and Campbells Elabels program, (http://www.elabelsforeducation.com/Sites/Campbells_eLabels/Page/HomePage)
- Target Take Charge of Education,

- Boxtops4education [earn by shopping online for items you normally order], (http://www.boxtops4education.com/)
There are many more programs. A quick google search may find a program that you would like to use to support your local schools. As always, The Tech Angels of New Rochelle would like to encourage you to put technology to work for you.
