FUN Raising

We're putting the FUN back into fundraising!

Every year Peoples Church Preschool supports various fundraising campaigns to advance the program and make quality improvements to our classrooms and outdoor learning environment. We look to our preschool families and the community to help us raise the additional funds needed.

This year's fun-raising campaign is called Achieving Our Dreams.

2010 Silent Auction!

Our annual silent auction raises funds for school events and improvements. This year's auction will take place May 18-27. Donations are accepted at any time. Please consider donating a tax-deductible item for auction! Contact the preschool at 517-332-2885 for more information! This year's auction earned $3,000! Thank you to all of the business and individuals that donated and to all of our wonderful bidders!

Scholastic Book

Scholastic Book Sales

Throughout the year flyers are placed in the children's preschool folders for parents and relatives to purchase Scholastic Books for their families. When a preschool family places a Scholastic order the preschool receives free books to use to replace and add books to our classroom bookshelves.
Campbells Labels

Campbell Soup Labels for Education Program

Did you know? The preschool collects UPC codes that can be exchanged for points that will purchase fun classroom equipment. You may deposit UPC codes in the receptacles located in the preschool entry hall or in the church hall outside the Robertson Room (north entrance). Important things to know:
  • It's not just Campbell's! It's also Pepperidge Farm, V8, Prego, Swanson and Franco American. See the side of the receptacle for a complete list.
  • We don't need the whole label-just the UPC code or box top portion of the label.
  • We cannot use Box Tops for Education.

Scrip Gift Card Purchase Program

www.shopwithscrip.com

Contact us with questions, or to access the Peoples Church Preschool institution code.
The preschool is pleased to continue a great program to help you earn money toward your child's tuition. Scrip - a term that means "substitute money" - is gift certificates from national and local retailers, the same gift certificates that you would buy from the store.

How it works: Scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to the preschool at a discount. Families like yours buy the certificates at full face value (as you would if you were to buy gift certificates at stores), redeem them for full face value, and our school is given the difference as revenue. The revenue is split between the family (tuition credit) and the preschool: 95% families/5% preschool.

Meijer Community Rewards Program

On May 1, 2007 the Meijer Community Rewards Program made some changes to the program. Check the Meijer website for the new requirements.

Meijer Community Rewards is a very simple way to reduce your tuition costs. Simply go to www.meijer.com/rewards and sign up for a Meijer guest card or Meijer credit card, or fill out an application and mail it to Meijer.

The People's Church Preschool's code is 747747.

When you purchase items at Meijer, scan your card before you pay for your merchandise and you will automatically be credited a percentage of your total sales. If you have any further questions about this program, feel free to contact the preschool office.
