Some
SIMPLE and FREE ways you can help Pleasant Avenue
Students
Box Tops – Find Box Top coupons on hundreds of
products you probably already purchase (e.g. Cheerios).
Each Box Top is worth 10 cents for Pleasant Avenue. Clip
and send them in with your child to give their classroom
teacher. There are prizes for classroom that brings in
the most Box Tops!
Campbell Soup Labels –Save UPC Labels and
beverage caps from participating products and send them
in to your child’s teacher. Pleasant Avenue will earn
rewards for all labels collected. For more information,
go to
http://www.labelsforeducation.com/.
GoodSearch.com – When you are searching for
information via the internet, use
http://www.goodsearch.com/ which is a Yahoo-powered
search engine that donates half its advertising revenue
to Pleasant Avenue (once you choose Pleasant Avenue
School, Johnstown, NY as your charity of choice). The
new online shopping mall,
http://www.goodsearch.com/goodshop.aspx,
donates up to 37% of each purchase to Pleasant Avenue
School! Hundreds of great store including Amazon,
Target, Gap, eBay, and Barnes & Noble have teamed up
with GoodShop.com!
Ink Cartridges – These can be recycled and
Pleasant Avenue will receive funds from each approved
cartridge they accept. There a collection box in the
school lobby or just send in a bag to your child’s
teacher.
SchoolMall -
http://www.schoolmall.com, is an online shopping
mall where over 200 nationally known online merchants
have agreed to give a percentage of sales to K-12
schools. Companies like WalMart.com, Sears, Target,
DisneyStore.com, Family Book Store, and Oriental Trading
Company participate. Most merchant contributions to your
school will average 5%-10% but some go as high as 50% of
sales! You can also donate a Caring For Classrooms gift
card to a student’s classroom. Your donation will be
used by their teacher for books, educational magazines
and classroom supplies.
Target Redcard – If you have and use a Target
RedCard, a percentage goes to the school of your choice
(Pleasant Avenue). They will track purchases made, then
send a no-strings-attached donation check directly to
the school principal. You can choose Pleasant Avenue and
track our school's progress at

Tools for Schools – Go to
http://www2.pricechopper.com/toolsforschools/ with
your Advantage Card and follow the instructions.
Everything you purchase at Price Chopper with your
Advantage Card earns points to help Pleasant Avenue get
a larger share of the $500,000 in FREE equipment to be
distributed to participating schools. For example, last
year we received two Listening Centers in addition to
smaller items. *You must register your Advantage
Card EVERY year.

Making team (SDM) consists of teachers, parents and the
building principal. The SDM committee meets monthly for 45
minutes prior to PTA meetings. The purpose of the group

functioning of the building.
