Earning Cash for Elementary Schools Without Selling Cookie Dough or Wrapping Paper!

"Do you want to buy raffle tickets?" "Would you like to buy some cookie dough or a coupon book?" It's no secret that schools are short on cash these days.

It's that time of year again... the kids are back in school and the doorbell is constantly ringing.

It's no secret that schools are short on cash these days.

Cash for Class is a program that Woodbury Lakes has each year from September through May.  It's a simple program and it puts cash in the hands of our community schools.

After shopping at any of the stores or restaurants, simply stop by the Management Office and show your receipts. They record the amount you've spent and off you go with your receipts.

Or if your school has a box in the office and you don't need your receipts back, send them to school with the kiddos. Each dollar spent is equal to one point and at the end of the program, the school with the most points wins.  All participating schools receive cash for being in the program! 

You're shopping anyway, so why not put your receipts to use for a good cause?

The participating schools this year are Liberty Ridge, Nuevas Fronteras, Skyview Elementary, St. Ambrose, Transfiguration and Valley Crossing.
