BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

Collect those Box Tops! Our Box Top Contest runs Nov 1 - Nov 30, 2011
First period teachers distributed the Box Top contest forms to those students who want or to participate.  
Additional contest forms are available on-line (click here),  may be picked up from home room teachers, or in the office.  Students are to tape or paste trimmed Box Tops onto the contest form.  Completed forms can be returned to home room teachers or to the office.

Community Partners Give Back to Mountainside

Did you know that every time you shop at one of our community partners below, you can earn EXTRA CASH for Mountainside?  Most of these partners donate 1% of all purchases made to our school!  It’s easy and helps fund a variety of programs that otherwise wouldn’t be.

Make sure your Safeway Shoppers Card is linked to Mountainside Middle School.  It’s easy!  Go to www.escrip.com and click on the “Members/Supporters” tab.  If you are already a member, follow the prompts; otherwise, click on “Sign Up Now,” enter Mountainside’s group ID #6540616, and follow the prompts.

Did you pick up your Albertson's Community Partner key fob during one of the orientation nights?  If not and you shop at Albertson’s, please send an email to vpfundraising@mountainsidepto.org and request one.  You do need to provide the cashier with your card EVERY time at check-out, but this is an easy way to earn extra money for Mountainside!

Each year, you need to link you Fry's Shoppers Card to Mountainside account. It's as simple as printing out this barcode and giving it to the cashier the next time you shop at Fry's.  Once scanned, your card will be linked with Mountainside through May 2012.
