Free Money is important to schools. Don’t forget to sign your

school(s) up for the grocery stores yearly or the stores don’t donate to schools.

When signing up if you have children in multiple schools you should list all of

the school(s) you want to support at the same time.

Out of 900 forms sent home we got about 55 forms back. So if you

think your student might have forgotten to turn in the form it never hurts

to send the info again. Just email the grocery card numbers to

Brentsvillehighschool@yahoo.com and they will go directly to the

coordinator for all the grocery stores.
