Fresh & Easy Shop for Schools

Mt. Washington School is famous for it’s "AWESOME" parent body.  In only 3 weeks of our kick-off, you have raised $244 in Fresh & Easy money.  Great Job!!!

Keep shopping and collecting your Fresh & Easy receipts, our wonderful school gets $1 for every $20 increment on your receipt.  So if you spend $43.45, our school gets $2 for your receipt.  If you spend $75.35, our school gets $3 for your receipt.

You want to know how to double that money???   When you walk in the store, purchase a Fresh & Easy gift card, save your receipt and then purchase your groceries with the gift card.  Now you have 2 receipts, 1 for your gift card and 1 for your groceries.  You've just double our fundraising!!!  Don't forget to turn in your 2 receipts.

 

Pickup a current coupon in the Office or in the Parent Center and now you can use coupons off your SmartPhone.
