Green School/Garden Club News
If you have leaves you need to get rid of, please fill up a bag or two and drop them off near the shed. We are still in need of someone to work on the gates.
An exciting garden event is coming in November. Northwest Youth Corps has agreed to spend half a day working in the garden. They will essentially get the garden bedded down for winter. Stay tuned for info on how you can help with this event.
As always, for more information contact:
Online Holiday Shopping pays big dividends for Escrip participants!
Did you know that you can earn money for Fox Hollow while doing your online shopping? Online vendors typically donate 2 – 10% of shopping purchases to Fox Hollow when eScrip participants go through the eScrip website for their online shopping. Since it can be hard to remember to go through eScrip’s website, they’ve developed a widget called AutoEarn, that you can download to your PC or Mac (yep, you heard that right, it’s now available for Macs too!) Once installed, the widget notifies you when you’re shopping at an online vendor who gives money back to Fox Hollow. If you haven’t yet registered as an eScrip participant, go to www.escrip.com and sign up. Once you’ve done that, you can download the AutoEarn widget here.
Remember your family must renew by November 1 in order to continue uninterrupted contributions. While you can renew after November 1—contributions will stop until renewed- and with all the potential holiday shopping and winter travel the school could be earning money while you are away!
Electronic Scrip Incorporated (ESI) has made a firm commitment to protect all customer information provided. ESI will not license, sell, exchange or distribute any personally identifying information about eScrip participants to any third parties not directly involved in the eScrip program.
Online Parent Volunteer Checklist sign-up still needs you!
If you haven’t already, please sign-up now. Nothing shows your kids how important school really is more than you helping out! To sign-up, click HERE.
