Fundraising makes the
​school go round

The South Colby PTSO aims to keep our focus simple- to support our students, teachers, and school without added stress and personal fundraising throughout the year based on merchandise sales. Our primary funding comes from two  events: Our PTSO Community Sponsorship Program and our annual Giving Drive (beginning in early February). Through the Giving Drive, we are able to provide support for a vast array of programs, events, and services to our precious school.

Our funding is also supplemented by our participation in other programs including Box Tops for Education, Fred Meyer Community Rewards, Amazon Smile, and others. 
Amazon donates to South Colby PTSO quarterly just because you are shopping! Nothing changes with your shopping experience, except now Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchase price to the South Colby PTSO. Visit smile.amazon.com and select South Colby Parent Teacher Student Organization as your charitable organization. To find out more about the program, see smile.amazon.com/about. 
​
Customers can earn donations for their favorite nonprofits by shopping with their Rewards Card. Here’s how it works:
  • Customers can log in to your online account and link their Rewards Card to the organization of their choice. Customers will continue to receive Rewards Points, Rebates and Fuel Points.
  • At the end of each quarter, Fred Meyer will make a donation to participating nonprofits based on the accumulated spending of the Rewards customers linked to each nonprofit.

HELPFUL TIPS: You only need to set up your Fred Meyer Rewards one time for South Colby PTSO (Organization #87389) to receive the donation reward. Once you log into your online account, under your "My Account" is where you can designate the non-profit organization of your choosing.
South Colby is an active participant in the Box Tops for Education program where we can earn money per quarter towards our school. We are listed as SOUTH COLBY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. Parents, family, and friends are encouraged to clip box tops off qualifying products and submit to our school coordinator. Visit www.boxtops4education.com for more detailed information and product support. 

HOW DOES CASH GET TO OUR SCHOOL?
Our school’s Box Tops Coordinator will collect all the Box Tops and send them in so our school can get cash. Checks are mailed to schools twice a year in December and April.
