Giving to the preschool
There are numerous ways in which you can help
Piedmont Progressive Preschool! Remember that PPP is a
501(c)3 nonprofit organization, so donations are
tax-deductible (please contact your tax adviser for
information on how to handle deductions in your specific
situation).
Throughout the year, PPP hosts different fun fundraising activities. This year they have ranged from a spaghetti supper to a plant sale. Check out the school calendar and current school newsletter for more information.
Talk to your child's teacher or contact the school about ways in which you can volunteer to help out. The opportunities are varied. Some examples include serving on a committee, making items for the classroom or playground, or assisting with administrative details. Our parents and family members have many unique talents that are a great asset to our school!
When you link your VIC card to the Preschool, and purchase Harris Teeter brand products, the Preschool receives a percentage of the purchase price. You can link your card online, or just give the cashier our code, 4841, and your VIC card when you check out. You must link your VIC card each school year (ending May 31) so don't forget to to re-enroll if you participated last year. This program does not interfere with your VIC savings or cost you any money. Ask your friends and family to link their VIC cards too!
Save money at local restaurants, family-friendly businesses and more! Citipass books cost $25 and are full of great deals. For each book you sell, a portion goes to PPP; the money raised is used for school improvements. Be sure to let everyone you know that you are selling these great books. Get your copies from the Fundraising Council.
You can raise money for PPP every time you search the web, at iSearchiGive.com. Make it your homepage and use it to find everything from news on the economy, to mood-lifting jokes (we recommend the latter). Piedmont Progressive Preschool gets a penny (or more!) every time you search. Believe it or not, it adds up quickly and best of all, it costs you NOTHING!
