March-a-Thon
The March-a-thon is our biggest fundraiser of the year! It helps fund many of our children’s favorite things that would not be possible without it. These include: fieldtrips, guest performers, library books, art & dance instruction, playground equipment, classroom supplies and many other things that enrich our children’s educational experience.
How does the March-a-thon work?
- This years’ school wide event will be held Friday, March
23rd from
8:30am-12:30pm with a Hot Dog Picnic Lunch immediately following.
- Parents and families are encouraged to come cheer the students on.
- Each student receives a pledge envelope to ask friends and family to
pledge a certain amount of money for every lap they run/walk.
- Each class will have 20 minutes to run/walk as many laps as they can
on a marked course on the upper grade field.
- Each student participating in the March-a-thon will receive a
complementary t-shirt. Parents may pre-order t-shirts for $5.00 each.
- A live DJ and MC make this a fun event for all!
How can students help?
- Gather as many pledges as you can!!!
- Get ready to run/walk as many laps as
you can!!!
- There are individual and class prizes!
How can parents help?
- Encourage your children to gather pledges from family, friends, coworkers, etc. (Students should NOT go door to door alone).
- Sponsor the event by contributing $100 to Bishop’s Peak or Teach. Your business name and logo will be displayed on the t-shirt.
- Volunteer the day of the event for various rewarding jobs.
- Please join us for this exciting event!
And lastly, anyone wishing to give our kids a little extra energy and donate fruit the morning of the March-a-thon is encouraged to do so. Orange and apple slices, bananas, grapes, strawberries, and pineapple can be dropped off at the snack table (washed and ready to serve), and will be most appreciated by our budding athletes.
Book Fair
Our Fall Scholastic Book Fair planning is underway and scheduled for Monday, November 14 nd through Friday, November 18.
The "Fair" is only made possible with the help and involvement of the parents. During the first week of school, there were volunteer sign up sheets that were sent home for parents to sign and volunteer for the many events that Bishop's Peak hosts to benefit our children. The monies earned at these events go towards field day and school trips which the children look forward to going on. Without these fundraisers, none of the events would be possible.
Box Tops/Labels/Printer Cartridges
You can do more than just collecting the tops off your cereal. Go through their website to buy your favorite brands and give to the school at the same time! Simply click on the image below to get started!
Printer cartridges can also be brought to the office and used for rebates!
eScrip and Grocery Store Program
Local grocery store club cards can be linked to Bishop’s Peak account. The school will then receive money when you shop. Or purchase Scrip Program weekly gift cards/certificates for many local stores and Bishop’s Peak receives a percentage. Contact Doris Kim or Beth Meyer for more information, or go to www.escrip.com to sign up!
Scrip/Gift Card Program
We’re
pleased to share some exciting news about a new way for families to help
raise money for Bishop’s Peak Elementary School. It’s called “Scrip,” and it
works while you shop. Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” –
in other words, scrip is gift cards from national and local retailers.
They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular
retailers participate in our scrip program including Albertsons, Vons, Jamba
Juice, The Gap, Shell, Pizza Hut, and Barnes and Noble. For a complete
listing of retailers, including those not shown on our order form, go to
www.glscrip.com.
It’s simple -- Member families like yours buy the certificates
for full face value then redeem them for full face value. When you use these
cards a percent of your purchases is given back to Bishop’s Peak School.
Download and print the order form (by
clicking here or on the image above) and
return it to school. Your scrip order will be ready to pick up in
front of the office from Beth Meyer on designated days. If you are
unable to pick up your order on those days, please contact Beth Meyer.
OR....Scrip is now offering a program with a number of their retailers. You can order the Scrip online with your credit card or e-check and it will be e-mailed to you within 30 minutes of your order time. To participate in this part of the program go to www.shopwithscrip.com; Our non-profit's enrollment code, to used by participating families for registration, is: DF6LDCFA28514
