Please Consider the School Shopping Card Program:

The Shopping Card program is an important source of funds, which the school depends on in order to fund

extra projects. If you don’t normally buy cards, please consider having a look at the order form, choosing a

few, and seeing how it goes. There is a multitude of stores, restaurants and services to choose from.

The beauty of this program is that you’re not being asked to spend any extra money – just use the cards instead

of cash. Thank you for supporting your students!
