$100 Best Buy/GameStop Gift Card Waiting for You!

eScrip/Safeway Signup Competition

Did you know you can register any Safeway Club Card with eScrip and earn money for Newcastle Elementary?  Once a card is registered, our school will automatically receive up to 4% of all Safeway purchases made with that card all year long!   It’s truly that easy.

Best of all, for each Safeway Club Card you register; we will enter your name in a drawing to win either a $100.00 gift card (1st prize) or a $25.00 gift card (2nd and 3rd place) to Best Buy or GameStop.  Sign up just one Club Card and you get one entry in the gift card drawing.  Want better odds?  Then sign up your friends, neighbors and relatives, too!  The drawing will be held on May 7th at the Spring  Family Event.  You do not need to be present to win – but you won’t want to miss out on the fun!

If you’ve lost your Safeway club card, call 1-800-safeway to get your number. Out of state friends and family who shop at VONS, PW Value, Genuardi’s or Carr’s can also sign up their customer loyalty cards.

Just over   a week left!  Be sure to return your eScrip Power Registration Log to your teacher by Monday, May 3rd.

Your Efforts Have Paid Off!!

Thank you for contributing your Campbell Labels for education at Newcastle Elementary.   As a result, our school received 23,000 reward points to use on a variety of academic, music and physical education items.   Most recently our PE teacher, Mr. Miller, made a purchase using those points.   Your kids will soon be seeing a fantastic new game called Fitness Skillastics during gym time.  This fun, fast-moving game features a large mat showing 26 fitness drills in 3 levels of participation.   In addition, we also purchased eight soccer balls which can be used during recess time.   Thank you, thank you, thank you for your participation in clipping and turning in these labels - - your efforts really pay off!
