PA Fund
Raising News There are many easy ways to help the school raise
money to support our programs and special events.
Supermarket Dollars
Local supermarkets will give cash to our school for dollars spent
by GICS families.
Giant Food: The Giant A+ BONUSBUCKS program runs from early
October through April. We encourage everyone to take advantage of
this program and thank everyone as well for their donations to our
school in the past.
Safeway: Please sign up or renew for the Safeway
program through eScrip. We receive 3% of your total purchase while
simply shopping for groceries.
If you would like to enroll, let a member of the Parents
Association know and we will take care of the paperwork for you. The
information we would need is Last name, First name, Address, and
Safeway Club Card number.
Please remember -- you MUST use your Safeway card when shopping
in order to receive credit for your purchases. Encourage neighbors,
grandparents, aunts and uncles to participate too!
Lauer's: No enrollment is necessary, just mention GICS at
checkout and 3% of your purchase will be applied to our account.

Other Ways to Help
Office Depot will also give cash for dollars. Mention GICS at
checkout and our school will receive a percentage of your purchase.
Box Tops for Education
Clip
Box Tops for Education from hundreds of your favorite General Mills
products found throughout your local grocery store. Each Box Top is
worth 10 cents to our school. This program runs constantly
throughout the year. There is a box in the main office to collect
the Box Tops or you can send them into the school via Backpack
Express.
Land's End
We participate in the Land's End school uniform program. Land's End
will send 3% of all school clothing sales back to GICS! School
clothing can be ordered on line at www.Landsend.com/school or by
calling 1-800-469-2222. The GICS school code for the 3% credit is
900095183.
Target
You can sign up for the Take Charge of Education program by calling
1-800-316-6142 or by visiting www.target.com. Designate GICS, and
Target will donate an amount equal to one percent (1%) of your
Target Visa or Target Card purchases at any Target store and
www.Target.com, and one-half percent (1/2%) of your Target Visa
purchases everywhere else you use your Target Visa.
Combined Federal Campaign of Central Maryland
One way of providing financial support to GICS is through the
Combined Federal Campaign of Central Maryland. If you are a Federal
Employee, you can name GICS as a recipient through payroll
deductions. We are listed in their contributor's guide; our CFC
number is 3056.
