The Steller Community is enrolled in a very simple, yet powerful, fundraising program called eScrip.\u00c2\u00a0 Together with hundreds of merchant partners, eScrip has created a system that rewards customer loyalty by contributing a percentage of purchases to support your chosen groups. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s simple and painless and only requires supporters to register once. You can designate up to three non-profit groups to receive your support, and change your designated beneficiaries at any time.\u00c2\u00a0 You simply register your Carr\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\/Safeway club card and\/or credit\/debit card with eScrip, then shop as you normally do.\u00c2\u00a0 Local merchants participating in the program are: Safeway and OfficeMax.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of other merchants are accessible through the eScrip online shopping mall\u00e2\u20ac\u201deverything from Apple to Zales, Barnes & Noble to Nordstrom, even EBay can be reached through eScrip and earn dollars for Steller\u00e2\u20ac\u201dyou just have to link through the eScrip website first.\u00c2\u00a0 OR you can download the eScrip Autotrack feature, and anytime you shop at a participating online merchant, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see a popup window telling you how much Steller will earn from your purchase.\u00c2\u00a0 To register, or for more information, click on the link on the Steller parent website, or go to www.eScrip.com.\u00c2\u00a0 You do need your actual Carr\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\/Safeway account # to register.\u00c2\u00a0 If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re like me, and usually just key in your phone number when shopping at Carr\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, you can call Safeway at 1-877-723-3929 to verify your card number.<\/p>\n
In an effort to encourage more Steller families to sign up for eScrip, we are holding a drawing for three ipod Shuffles.\u00c2\u00a0 In Advisory Groups on Monday, students received copies of the registration\/entry forms. Extra copies of forms can be found in envelopes near each entryway.\u00c2\u00a0 Completed forms should be returned to the blue eScrip box in the office. Students are not limited to immediate family members for support\u00e2\u20ac\u201dgrandparents, aunts & uncles, even your piano teacher can be registered as a Steller supporter. eScrip is a nationwide program, so friends and relatives in other states can also register to support Steller.\u00c2\u00a0 Each new successful eScrip registration is an entry in the drawing for the named student. The drawing will take place at the All Community Meeting on Thursday, November 13.\u00c2\u00a0 Students need not be present to win.<\/p>\n
