MATES Ways & Means-Fundraising

MATES Marketplace

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!
The MATES Marketplace is run and operated by parent volunteers and is open after school on a limited basis. Last year, students and parents enjoyed shopping for snacks, MATES spirit wear shirts, school supplies, gently used uniforms, among other things. The Marketplace does not carry or order new school uniforms.

Students can only purchase items with parent approved store credit. Once the Marketplace is open, parents can arrange for store credit by leaving a check payable to MATES PTA at the front office with your child’s name. Adults may make purchases using cash, check or charge.

If you are interested in helping with the MATES Marketplace, please contact Rachel Lemieux at rachellemieux@verizon.net .

Shop online and use eScrip to earn money for our school!

Simply register your credit cards with eScrip. When shopping online, use one of hundreds of merchants available at the eScrip Online Mall and a percent of your purchase will be donated to the school. Oriental Trading, Old Navy, Amazon and Expedia are just some of the merchants available through the eScrip Online Mall.
