Discovery Elementary PTO - Direct Donation Campaign

📢 Attention Trailblazers- This year’s Direct Donation Campaign is underway!

With a Direct Donation campaign, the PTO keeps 100% of the profits and avoids traditional door-to-door selling. All donations are tax-deductable!

Money 💰 earned will go towards improving our Kindergarten playground, as well as for the purchase of additional recess equipment for the entire school.

Donations can be made through the school store and via paper form. LOOK 👀 out for a paper PTO packet coming home this week!

If there is one thing that the Discovery PTO 💯 loves, it is earning free money 💰 for our awesome school! The grocery store card cash back program does just that. We have programs with Giant and Harris Teeter. This post will focus on Harris Teeter.

Harris Teeter offers the most generous program, with enrollment rewards! 💵

The Facts
Discovery needs 72 Harris Teeter links by October 9, 2018 - to receive a bonus of $100!

We currently only have 8 links - last year we ended with 74; the year before that 135...

What to do?
You must relink your card each school year, using the link and school code below.
