On-Going Fundraisers
Price Chopper - "Tools for Schools"
Register your Price Chopper Advantage card at KES or at any Price Chopper Service Desk. The KES school code is 15362. Registration is ONE time not once each school year and ANYONE can register so please encourage family and friends throughout CT, MA, NH, NY, PA and VT to register. There is no reduction in your gas savings by registering. Program runs through the end of March.
Hannafords - "Help Schools, Help Kids"
The Rutland Hannafords grocery store will donate money for every 4 products purchased with the "Hannafords Helps School" logo. A certificate will be printed out with your register receipt. Please place the certificate (or your register receipt) in the Killington Elementary School slot on the collection tower. ANYONE can drop into the Killington slot so please encourage your family, friends and neighbors to support us by placing their receipts in the slot too. This program only runs through December.
Box Tops for Education
We collect "Box Tops for Education" (BTE) coupons and exchange them for money to purchase products for the school. Many products including food items, paper goods, office supplies and apparel have small BTE coupons on them. Before you throw away boxes or packing, please look for, clip and save the BTE coupon. Collection boxes are located at the Killington Elementary School (on the table across from Mrs. Guggenberger's office) and at the Sherburne Memorial Library (near the front door on the checkout desk). Please do not put your BTE couples in the box located at Hannafords since that collection box does not go to KES.
Donations
Direct monetary donations are gratefully accepted at any time. Please make tax deductible donations out to the Sherburne Education Foundation. Donations may be dropped off at the school or be mailed to KEEPERS, PO Box 998, Killington, VT, 05751.
If you have ideas for other fundraisers, events, grants and/or projects, please join a meeting or contact someone who is attending a PEAKS meeting. It would be great to have as many parents as possible be active participants in the PEAKS.
