RALPHS GIVES BACK TO BAY LAUREL
RAISE MONEY FOR WHILE YOU SHOP EVERYDAY!
|
|
Did you know that we earned nearly
$1,700
in 3 months from Ralph’s? And we could earn SO much more!
So far, only 117 families have registered their Ralph’s Club card with the Bay Laurel PFA! Imagine how much we'd hear if EVERY Dolphin family registered their Ralph’s Club card with Bay Laurel!
Nothing extra to buy - just go about your normal grocery shopping and our school earns up to 4% of each purchase!
​
Please take just a few minutes out of your day to
link/re-link your card to Bay Laurel Elementary EVERY year after September 1st.
(that means
everyone
needs to take action each year to re-enroll --
visit the PFA website
for details)
We will be kicking off a classroom contest, running 9/15-9/30.
All classes with 100% participation (Ralph's Club linked to Bay Laurel) will win a popsicle party!
If you have any questions, please contact our parent volunteers managing our participation in the Ralphs Community Contribution Program:
Dima Jubrail
or
Kathy Berardi
