Free Money is important to schools. Don’t forget to sign your

When signing up if you have children in multiple schools you should list all of
the school(s) you want to support at the same time.
Out of 900 forms sent home we got about 55 forms back. So if you
think your student might have forgotten to turn in the form it never hurts
to send the info again. Just email the grocery card numbers to
[email protected] and they will go directly to the
