PTA Fundraising

One of Sycamore Elementary's PTA's main missions is to raise money for our school to support our teachers, classrooms and students. Effective fundraising is essential to our school community because it will ensure that our students continue to have opportunities to experience a rich and rewarding education while in elementary school. Sycamore's fundraisers that are sponsored by the PTA, such as the "Fun Run," are the means for providing exciting school events, assemblies, field trips and more for our children. Please support our PTA with your time and/or donations, which in turn supports our children's school, in any way that you can in order to make their school experience all that it can be! Some of the programs and events that are overseen by our amazing PTA include: The purchase of needed teaching materials/workbooks/supplies Music programs Art programs Classroom software licenses Annual Science Night Annual Harvest Carnival Annual PTA Reflections Competition Performing Arts assemblies Scholastic Book Fair Annual Reading Night Playground equipment Student Council activities Annual 5th Grade Farewell Picnic Annual Talent Show School spirit activities Teacher Appreciation Lunch Field trips and much more!

What is eScrip?

eScrip has created a system that rewards customer loyalty by contributing a percentage of purchases made by participating families to school or youth-based groups. Parents, teachers, friends, and families are encouraged to register their grocery club cards and existing credit/debit cards as supporters. A percentage of all purchases made at eScrip merchants will be given back to the designated school or group.

How Does eScrip Work?

Participating merchants contribute each time your families make a purchase using their registered cards. There are no receipts to collect, no vouchers or certificates to buy, no hassles for you and every purchase counts.
