Fundraising & SCE PTA Eagle Greens

Each year, the SCE PTA conducts TWO fundraisers to support the year’s operating budget—a direct donation drive in the fall and an online auction during the spring. Funds collected are used to support programs and activities both at Spring Creek and within the RISD community. Here is a graphic to illustrate your PTA fundraising $$ at work:

********** Now more than ever SCE needs your support. While our events and programs are ever changing due to COVID safety protocols, we expect to spend the same amount per student. No matter the current situations, we are committed to supporting our students, their enrichment and all staff members throughout the year **********

Please support your student by participating in the fundraisers listed below.

Fall Fundraiser

Our primary fundraiser for Fall is the direct donation drive. This replaces a product-sale fundraiser by allowing families and friends of SCE to directly donate by cash, check, or credit card, with 100% of the money going to support our school.

Spring Fundraiser

Our annual online auction is always a fun and easy way to give back to the PTA. Auction items range from exotic vacation getaways, to school perks, to class-hosted parties, to donated items through family, friends and businesses. If you would like to donate an item for our auction or have a connection with a local business, restaurant, company, sports team, etc that might be willing to donate, please email the 2020-2021 Auction Committee at springfund@springcreekpta.org.

SCE PTA Eagle Greens - "Raising Money Through Shopping!

Through this program, the SCE PTA will raise money by taking advantage of corporate programs available from large vendors such as Amazon and grocery stores. For any questions or referrals, please contact us at eaglegreens@springcreekpta.org.

Amazon Smile

Help Spring Creek while doing your normal online shopping!

Did you know you can earn money for Spring Creek simply by making purchases from Amazon?

When you shop on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), the AmazonSmile Foundation donates 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organizations selected by customers.

When signing up for AmazonSmile, you can designate the Spring Creek PTA as your charitable organization, so that the PTA gets a little bit for every eligible purchase you make. This can make a HUGE contribution over the course of a year!

How does it work?

To hook up your account, please do the following:

1) On a computer, head to www.amazon.com

2) Hover over "Accounts & Lists"

3) Select "AmazonSmile Charity Lists"

4) Search for "PTA Congress 7764 Spring Creek Elementary"

5) Select this as your charity for AmazonSmile donations

6) To activate on your mobile device, follow these instructions:

NOTE: Amazon Smile works just like regular Amazon.com and will link to your existing Amazon account, but you must start your order from the Smile.Amazon.com page anytime you want to make a purchase on Amazon for SCE to automatically receive a portion of the purchase. Once you set up the Smile account, if cookies are enabled on your account, Amazon will remind you to switch to the Smile page.

Box Tops

The Box Tops for Education program is changing the way we can earn cash for our school.

Over the past summer, participating brands have begun to change their packaging from the traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Tops label.

Going forward, instead of clipping from packages and checking expiration dates, all Box Tops will be earned digitally by scanning your receipt.

Be sure to download the new app or update your existing app, now available in your phone provider's app store.

The new app features state-of-the-art technology that allows you to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school's earnings online.
