PICK N SAVE – ALL YEAR LONG!
Benefit your student by feeding them! What a concept!! Sign up for Pick N Save’s “We Care” program and request the proceeds to go to Waukesha South Band Boosters – Number 919825. Every quarter a check is generated from a percentage of Roundy’s sales. Each year the Band earns around $900. New parents – this is the easiest way to earn money for the band – Seasoned parents -take a few moments to verify that the band account is properly designated.
GREAT LAKES SCRIP – ALL YEAR LONG! (Updated Nov'09)
This is another fantastic opportunity to raise money without spending extra. Gift cards are purchased for places you would normally do business. Choose from gas stations, retail stores and restaurants. A handout was sent home with your students earlier in the week at band camp. A percentage of your sale is sent back to the band organization and to your student’s passbook account. The web site is: http://www.glscrip.com and more information is here.
MARKET DAY – ALL YEAR LONG!
Earn money for your student's passbook account by purchasing food items you already buy at the grocery store for your family. If you have been looking for a place to get your Market Day favorites, or if you would like to try Market Day, here is your chance. Go to www.marketday.com, and register by creating a username and password, using the Whittier school account number: 12705 (South shares the Market Day task with Whittier). If you are already a customer, be sure that account 12705 is selected. If you want to fill out a paper order form (available on the wall of knowledge) you will need to return the paper order form to Terri Como, 331 S. Greenfield Avenue. All profits for your order will go to your student's passbook account. Check back often on the front page of this website for order placement and pickup date/times.
