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 annual Giving Drive (beginning in late January) and our PTSO Community Sponsorship Program. Through these two fundraising events, 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. 

Community Sponsorship Program

South Colby Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO) is pleased to announce that we are offering a new way to show support for South Colby Elementary School in our upcoming school year! We've created a Community Sponsorship Program which offers an exclusive Spirit Wear t-shirt that features supporting company logos. Participating in our Community Sponsorship Program not only provides vital funding to our school but also promotes your business with a prime showcase of your belief in public education and sense of community to over 350 families. In addition, we will add your logo to a professionally made Sponsor Poster, displayed within our parking lot for prime visibility of your endorsement. There will also be a dedicated section of our PTSO website (southcolbyptso.com) to display each of the Community Sponsors. If that isn’t incentive enough, the South Colby PTSO is a registered 501c(3) Organization so your sponsorship is tax deductible! With enough Community Sponsors, we aim to make a new tradition out of our t-shirt Community Sponsorship Program. We would love to gain your annual support and add you to our list of contributors!

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. 

HELPFUL TIPS: For your amazon purchases to qualify for the Smile Donation, you have to make all purchases through the website smile.amazon.com - it is virtually the same website and shopping experience (even the mobil app doesn't allow purchases to be included in the donation). So change your shopping habit to the new website so South Colby can earn extra rewards!

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.
