yet? Me neither…but the turkey is ready for the oven and Grandma is
bringing the pie. As you page through the pile of store flyers to plan
your holiday shopping, take a minute to consider these three ways your purchases
can support Leopold students, staff and programs.
www.GoodSearch.com <http://www.goodsearch.com/>
– GoodShop is an online shopping mall
which donates up to 30 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause (Leopold
Elementary!) Hundreds of great stores including Target, Gap, Best Buy, ToysRUs,
and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an
order, you'll be supporting Leopold kids. Visit the GoodShop site at
http://www.goodsearch.com/goodshop.aspx.
Where it asks "Who do you shop for" type Leopold Elementary. You
can browse a list of categories, search for an item or locate a store by name.
An even easier option is to download the GoodSearch – Leopold Elementary
School toolbar. Leopold will earn money every time you shop
and search online - even if you forget to go to GoodShop or GoodSearch
first! Add
the Leopold Elementary
School toolbar at
http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/leopold-elementary-school.
Its quick, its easy, and its all for a good cause – our kids!
Are you an Amazon.com shopping
junkie? I know a few people who should own stock in the
company (you know who you are…). If your holiday shopping revolves
around Amazon, make sure you start every online shopping trip from
www.leopoldPFO.blogspot.com <http://www.leopoldpfo.blogspot.com/> (you
can get there by clicking the paw print on the Leopold GoodSearch toolbar –
hint hint). The Leopold PFO is part of the Amazon Affiliates program and
each purchase you make when you start your Amazon session from our site will
generate a donation to us. There's no logon necessary – just click
and shop. It's a good thing.
Shopping the BoxTops
Marketplace at www.boxtops4education.com <http://www.boxtops4education.com/>
is another way to make your online purchases work for our school. Join Box
Tops and identify Leopold as your school so the donations can pile up in the
school account. A recent change now has you earning electronic box tops
(eBoxTops) for every purchase. Each eBoxTop is worth 10 cents just like
the ones you clip off Cheerios, Pillsbury rolls, ZipLock bags, etc (I'm
just full of hints tonight…must be the weather). Click on any
store's logo at the Box Tops Marketplace, make a purchase on their website as
you normally would, and eBoxTops will be credited to Leopold's earnings. We
can earn up to 15 eBoxTops for every $10 you spend. When you do this, you'll
become a Box Tops Online Power Earner. As an Online Power Earner, you
will receive 10 Bonus Box Tops for every 100 eBoxTops you earn. Box
Tops…they're
not just for clipping anymore.
So…as you sit down at the computer with your shopping
list and a 2nd piece of pumpkin pie, remember to make every purchase
work for you to generate support for our kids. As always, thank you for
helping! Have a great Thanksgiving weekend and we'll see you at
school!
