Fundraising for Fairview
Fairview holds many fundraisers throughout the year.
Our parent group, GEBAS, sponsors
all of our fundraisers. First thing in the fall, we
kick off our two biggest fundraisers: the wrapping paper
and magazine sales. We also have many smaller fundraisers
that run throughout the year where parents earn money
for Fairview by shopping at certain stores and purchasing
certain products. Below are some other ways you can
earn money for our school.
The Fall Magazine Sale raised about $6000 which allowed GEBAS to honor special requests from staff including the purchase of climbing ropes for the gym, 3 new rugs for classrooms and the art room, cleaning of the rugs brought from the old school, a replacement easel for a classroom, the 3rd grade Spellography program and workbooks for each student, and more.
Our school wouldn’t have these things without fundraising. And GEBAS funds provide many more things for our school. I hope this gives you an idea of what your efforts have allowed GEBAS to accomplish this year. Thank you for all of the support you provide! Our school would not be the same without it.
Did you Know You Could Earn Money for Fairview by Just Shopping?!
Box Tops for Education - Keep Saving Over the Summer!
Collecting Box Tops for Education is an easy way to help Fairview. Please look out for Box Tops coupons with brands such as General Mills, Betty Crocker, Huggies, Juicy Juice, Ziplock, Kleenex, Pillsbury and more. Keep a separate box or envelope in your kitchen so that you can easily toss in the Box Tops you collect. Don't keep them too long - Box Tops do expire, so put them in an envelope or plastic baggie and send them to school with your child!
Buy Market Day Products
To date, Market Day sales have raised thousands of dollars for
Fairview, so look for orders forms in your child's
backpack throughout the school year or visit marketday.com
or order directly online. The food is delivered to
school and can be picked up on your way home from
work.
Shop at Kroger
Kroger shoppers...start this brand new school year out right by using your Kroger Rewards card every time you shop at Kroger! If you would like to get in on the easiest way to make money for Fairview, be sure to purchase a Kroger Rewards Card for only $1.00. You simply reload it for as much money as you need when you do your Kroger shopping. Fairview makes 4% of all of your Kroger purchases. To get a card, check for applications on the wooden wall Kroger ‘lock box’ in Fairview’s main hallway (directly past the office) or e-mail Joyce Cunningham at bcunningham@fuse.net or call 541-8965. Recycle!
Collect (and drop off as your bins fill up at home) aluminum cans and paper in the bins. The paper bin (Abitibi) is located on McAlpin next to the cafeteria and the aluminum can bin (Rumpke) is located in the parking lot on Clifton Avenue. It feel wonderful to get rid of junk mail, phone books, magazines, catalogs, and cardboard boxes, while at the same time making money for Fairview, so keep collecting but remember, no plastic bags or styrofoam can go in the bins!
Earn Money for Fairview and Help the Environment
Fairview is a GREEN school! Please bring in your old ink cartridges and cell phones. Fairview can earn up to $3 per cartridge and even more for phones when we then send them in for recycling! Drop off items in the Parent Center and in the Library.
