In addition to the events listed above, you can help Excel PTO raise money in the following ways:
King Soopers Cards
No-effort/ fundraising. You will earn 1 volunteer hour for each $200 recharge.
King Soopers gives Excel Academy 5% back for every amount that is reloaded on our cards. That adds up fast. Together we bring about $1000.00 every month for the school.
The cards can be reloaded at customer service, the register, or the gas pump. You will still receive your fuel points.
To get a King Soopers Card, please pick one up at the Front Office.
FORGET how much you recharged this year? Have your card number ready and call: King Soopers (303) 698-3436
Box Tops For Education
Cut the labels from the products you already buy, and send them to school with your child. Collection is twice a year.
The three classes that collect the most labels will receive an extra recess and the PTO will contribute an additional $50 towards each of the teacher’s classroom budgets.
You can bring your Box Tops to school in a bag or envelope or you can download Box Tops forms here: https://www.boxtops4education.com/about/collection-sheets.
