Every contribution will help our school to continue to grow and to add fun and educational opportunities for our students.  Remember to tell your family and friends about these easy ways to contribute.

1. Restaurant Nights – Throughout the school year, we have specific days set each month where you have the opportunity to have dinner at three different restaurants, all located in Richardson.   All three restaurants contribute a percentage of the St. Joseph sales to the school.  The restaurants are CiCi’s, Chick-Fil-A, and Desperados.  Watch your Friday Updates for 2007-08 school year dates!
   
   
2. SCRIP – SCRIP is a gift card program that provides financial support for the school.  The gift cards are for local retail stores, restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, etc.  When you purchase a gift card through the school, we receive a percentage of the face value of the card.  SCRIP is easy to use!  We send order forms home every Friday.  If you place a SCRIP order on the following Monday morning, it will be ready for pick up by that Friday.
   
   
3. Campbell’s Labels For Education and Box Tops For Education – Please start to collect Campbell’s Labels for Education that are found on most Campbell’s products, even Goldfish!  Box Tops for Education are well marked on participating products from General Mills. Collect them in baggies or envelopes and then send them in periodically with your student.
   
   
4. Tom Thumb Good Neighbor Program – Visit the Courtesy Booth at Tom Thumb and apply for or update your Reward Card Information.  We will receive a percentage of all of your grocery purchase totals. Our Good Neighbor Number is 10304.
   
   
5. Kroger Share Card –  You may pick up a Kroger Share Card already set up to give a percentage of your purchases to St. Joseph Catholic School in the School Office.  Each time you shop at Kroger, present the card to the cashier before they begin to ring up your order and ask the cashier to “Scan” the card.  Kroger will handle the rest!  Let us know if you need extra cards for friends and family.
   
   
6. Recycle Ink Cartridges, Laser Cartridges and Used Cell Phone – We have a collection box in the foyer next to the Early Learning Program near the Jupiter Road entrance.  Please drop off empty inkjet and laser cartridges and used cell phones.  We turn them in and receive a check.
   
   
7. Recycling Bins - There are two recycling bins in the back parking lot.  Bring your newspapers, magazines, shopping catalogs, office paper, school paper and mail.  Our bins are emptied monthly, the contents are weighed and we are sent a check.
   
   
8. Target Credit Card – Apply for the Target Visa charge card.  The application will ask for a school number under the school fundraising program.  Give them our school number – 118745.  Target Stores will donate an amount equal to one percent of Target Visa purchases made at Target or target.com.  Target will also donate .5 percent of Target Visa purchases made anywhere else Visa is accepted.
   
9. Central Market – Come by the School Office and get your “Fundraising Foodie” card.  This is good for the Central Market located in Plano.  The school earns 5% of the total value of your purchases, everytime you use this card.
