No Brainer Fundraisers

There are several ways you can help raise money for our school with
minimal effort on your part and no additional purchasing other than your normal every day shopping.  Read on to learn about these easy fund-raisers.

1.	Milk Bottle Caps -- For each milk bottle cap turned in, our school receives $0.05.  We collect caps from Kemps milk and Golden Guernsey milk.  Ask for milk caps anytime you stop by your favorite Starbuck’s.
2.	Box Top$ for Education -- For each box top from 100’s of different General Mills Products that we submit, our school will collect $0.10.  Last year we collected 3500 box tops which turned into $350 cash for our school.  Also, for you “on-line shoppers” out there, if you go to the Box Top$ for Education website and register before going to some of your other favorite on-line stores like The Gap, LLBean, Lands End, Barnes and Noble and many, many more, these stores will donate a percentage of your purchase to our school.  The percentage varies with each store. Check it out! It literally takes just minutes to register and these purchases add up quickly, as we all know.   www.boxtops4education.com
3	Target Credit Card Holders -- Target will donate 1% of all purchases made on your Target Credit Card to the school of your choice.  If you have a Target Credit Card, please designate KENOSHA MONTESSORI SCHOOL as your school of choice.  You can do this by calling 1-800-316-6142 or just stop by our local Target store.
4	Pick 'N' Save Advantage Plus Card -- Pick’N Save also donates 1% of all purchases to the school of your choice.  KENOSHA MONTESSORI SCHOOL’S identification number is 413900.  Please take a few moments the next time you are shopping there and designate our school as your choice on your Advantage Plus Card.
5	Spiegelhoff’s Supervalu -- Again, Spiegelhoff’s donates 1% of all purchases to the school of your choice.  All you need do is have your receipt stamped with their SuperValu logo and turn them in to the school.  We then submit them for their donation on a monthly basis.  Make certain that you have the clerk stamp your receipt and then turn them in frequently because they do expire.
6	Scrip -- Scrip is a term that means substitute money.  When KMS members purchase scrip, they're purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash.  KMS members can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, they earn revenue for our school.  KMS buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to our members for full face value.  The bulk of the discount - from two to fifteen percent or more - is retained by our school as revenue.  You can designate whether you want your order’s proceeds to be 100% donated to the school, or 50% of the proceeds can be applied quarterly, as a reduction to your tuition.  Ask staff members for a scrip order form or print it from our KMS website.  Submit orders with payment by 5:30PM each Monday to receive your Scrip cards or certificates by Friday of that same week.  Check out the website for a complete list of retailers or contact our coordinator for more details.
7 Market Day -- New last year is KMS’s joining with St. Mark’s to offer Market Day to our families.  Market Day was founded to help schools raise money for education.  You can order a full menu of delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner items to complete any meal.  A portion of the proceeds goes to KMS.
Thank you for your support!  These no-brainer fundraisers may seem little, but with 65 families participating, they add up quickly to significant cash for our school.
