KING SOOPERS CARD CAMPAIGN - WE'RE REALLY CLOSE TO OUR GOAL
Our monthly total reload values have dropped again for the King Soopers cards, but not by much. So we're asking for your help and...use those cards, everytime you grocery shop!
We are VERY close to our yearly goal of $15,000 - just $1,075.
Remember... this is a fantastic alternative to cookie dough sales (which will be discontinued next year) and gala events for fundraising. And the money earned from these reloads will pay for much-needed technology and equipment for our kids' classrooms.
Thanks to all the parents and families who have bought their groceries with their cards! Please see the complete list in this week's Coyote Column.
Since King Soopers is part of the Kroger family of supermarkets, they can be used at any Kroger grocery across the country. If you want to get cards for your family members, please contact Armel Lusher or Debbie South today (Armel_Lusher@hotmail.com or deborahjsouth@q.com)
