GiveBack2Schools
Have you heard all the buzz? Our district, in cooperation with the Gardner Edgerton Schools Foundation, has been on the ground floor of a new way to support Pioneer Ridge Middle School through an innovative company called GiveBack2Schools. Here is the good news – it doesn’t require spending extra money, selling something, or adding events to your packed calendar.
Dozens of area businesses have pledged a percent of every purchase to go back to the school group(s) of your choice. See some of the businesses below.
By downloading the phone app and following the directions provided, our school will receive easy money. You can select what group within our school you want the funds to go toward (i.e., grade level, activity group).
Share this information with your family members. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents can participate as well. Get started now by downloading the app. Search GiveBack2Schools. The logo is an open hand with a green hand in the center.
Thanks for your continued support of our school and students.
