Free Money for John Muir
Any time is a great time to start earning free money for
the John Muir PTA! Please read below about the ways you can help.
- Amazon School Rewards:
Whenever you want to make a purchase at Amazon, access the
Amazon web site using the School Rewards icon below
and log in as you normally do. When you make a purchase, a
portion of the proceeds will be deposited to John Muir PTA's
Wells Fargo Account.
- Purchase scrip gift cards from the John
Muir PTA: The PTA buys gift cards at a discount from
participating vendors and sells them to you at face value. For example,
a $10 gift card might cost the PTA $9.60. You buy the $10 gift
card from the PTA for $10 and use the gift card to make $10
worth of purchases at the vendor. The PTA keeps the 40 cent
difference. Note: 25% of net revenues are credited directly
to your child’s classroom for the teacher to use for supplies.

order form here!

Join eScrip: eScrip is a service where participating business partners contribute a
percentage of your
purchases to the schools, groups, and organization of your choice. After you
enroll in the free program, whenever you make a purchase from these vendors, a portion of your purchase is remitted to the John Muir
PTA. To participate in this free program, register your card(s) at
http://www.escrip.com. Specify John Muir as
your school. Be sure to specify the John Muir school that has participant ID#
136926433.

Register your Target Card. If you
are a Target shopper, you can click this link to order a Target VISA card or Target
Card and configure your account so that a portion of your
purchases are remitted to the John Muir PTA. To
designate John Muir to receive funds generated by your Target
purchases, specify School ID 30631 when prompted.
- Save your Box Tops for Education.
Many popular products you already buy have Box Tops for
Education coupons on them. Each coupon is worth ten cents for
our school. This might not seem like a lot, but if each family
submitted 50 Box Tops over the year, the PTA would raise $1,500!
You can put your saved Box Tops in the "Box Top" box in the John
Muir office. See this page for
instructions.
- If you register with
Box Top
for Education Online, you can sign on to your new account
and shop through the links on those pages. A percentage of your
purchases is remitted to John Muir PTA.
- Pick up a Lucky SHARES card in the office. Present this
card to the cashier at the beginning of your transaction.
John Muir will receive a percentage of your purchase through
earned points.
