Register for eScrip?

BusThis is the easiest way to support out school.  eScrip has created a program that rewards customer loyalty by contributing a     percentage of your purchases to school. Parents, teachers, friends and families are encouraged to register (or renew registration for 2010-11) their grocery club cards and existing credit/debit cards as supporters. For every dollar you spend eScrip donates a portion of that dollar to BV.

This is one BV PTA's main sources of income and it comes at no cost to you! Last year we received over $25,000 from this program; money that goes directly to support your children's education at BV.  Note that Safeway cards must be renewed each year!

How do I sign-up?

1.    Go to  www.escrip.com and click on “sign-up”.

2.   Designate our group to receive contributions. Our Group ID is # 137607333

3.   Follow the instructions to register your Safeway, Debit and/or other existing credit cards. (If you would like to register your cards manually, applications are available in the eScrip box in the school office. Simply fill it out and mail it in.)

Already registered?

To renew or add debit/credit cards, visit www.escrip.com and select “Yes! Click here to renew", the lower left corner, to login and make changes to your account. Safeway Club Cards must be renewed annually.  Check your account today to make every purchase count!

Where can I shop?

Shop in stores and through the eScrip Online Mall.  For a complete list of participating merchants go to www.escrip.com , and select “Family of Merchants”, or contact me for a printed flyer.

Bus eScrip 10% Back to Schools Program runs from August 11h - September 14th.  Be sure to register your Safeway Club Card so these additional funds can be contributed to BV.  Click here to view the program information.

1.  Beginning August 11th your eligible purchases will be stored on your card and your school can claim the 10% rebate

2.  September 18th register receipt tapes with redemption codes will start to print and continue through October 9th. Turn in any one of the receipts and your school can claim the rebate.

3.  Be sure your school fundraising coordinator receives your Club Card number or Receipt Tapes before October 13th - and your school earns!

Thanks to our families and volunteer participation last year, Buena Vista PTA collected over $2,000 from receipts, plus an extra $1,000 for being among the Top 100 in the Safeway 10% Back to Schools program. Help us continue to be a top school!

  • With 4-5 items, you win the Max Banana Smash Bowling game download.

  • And another game download for 8-9 items sold
  • and the fun keeps adding up from there!

A complete prize catalogue can be found in your gift wrap packet.

For our 4th and 5th graders -- your earnings raise money for Environment Camp!

Our 5th grade curriculum includes an environment camp. The 5th graders travel to the Marin Headlands for a week of environmental education. The cost for this trip is approximately $300 per student. The BV PTA uses the money raised by the 4th and 5th graders in gift wrap sales as credit against their cost for Environment Camp.

4th grader earnings are saved and credited to the overall costs of Environment Camp the following year.

5th grade earnings are credited to reduce your child's individual costs.  Money raised in excess of their costs is used for scholarhip money.

So, if you know a 4th or 5th grader, please place your gift wrap order with them.

Our giftwrap chair will soon be graduating out of BV.  We are looking for someone to shadow her this year and co-chair with her next year.  Particularly important will be a parent with a current 2nd or 3rd grader who can take over for a few years.

Contact the Gift Wrap Committee with any questions.
