SUPPORT THROUGH SHOPPING
Support Emerson-Williams with your everyday activities without spending an extra cent! Take advantage of these great deals from our partners, and give back to Emerson-Williams with every purchase. Here’s how…
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
We all shop for groceries, sometimes two or three times a week – or more. Now turn those shopping trips into easy cash for our school, and encourage friends to do the same! Just look for the Box Tops logo on hundreds of products like Cheerios®, Fiber One™, and Yoplait®, in almost every aisle of the store. All you need to do save your receipt and scan it using the Box Tops For Education app on your smart device – each product you purchase with a Box Tops logo on it is worth 10¢ for EWPTO.
ShopWithScrip (Gift Cards)
Gift card fundraising is the most convenient way to raise money for EWPTO—simply by doing everyday things. Like grabbing your morning coffee or streaming your favorite TV shows. There’s no need to buy things you don’t want. There’s no need to spend extra money. It fits right into your schedule, without having to sell door-to-door or plan events. Use your smartphone or tablet to earn from anywhere—even from the comfort of your own home.

BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITATIONS
If you are planning a birthday party outside of school for your child, and would like to invite EVERY single child in the class, the teacher can provide you with a list of all students’ first names, and can assist with the distribution of invitations to ALL students in the class. We can NOT provide last names, addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc. And, we do NOT permit any distribution of invitations to only some of the students in the class.
NUT FREE CLASSROOMS
Due to several severe, life-threatening nut allergies our students are dealing with, all of our classrooms MUST remain nut-free at all times. Please provide a daily snack for your child that does NOT contain any nut products. (Peanut butter and other nut products are allowed at lunch in our cafeteria.)
In addition to this policy, we also do not allow the distribution of any food (candy, doughnuts, pizza, cupcakes, etc.) to our classes of students. Please do not bring any food into school to share with the class.
