Keep saving those Marketplace Reciepts!

Save ALL of those receipts from EVERY store AND service in the Marketplace! Turn them in to the front office - or enter them online!*

*If you enter them online yourself, please DON'T also turn them in... we don't want to double-enter!

Here's a few things you might have forgotten that count toward Earn & Learn: (check back weekly for reminders and to see how long I can keep this up)

Chick-fil-A receipts that have been shoved into your center console since September.
The TV from Howard's used to watch the big game this weekend.
The bell-bottoms you picked up from Nordstrom Rack because Kendrick said it's ok to wear them again.

Yup- it's truly EVERY store/service in the Marketplace - save those receipts and pass 'em over! We're aiming to the be the TOP school in TUSD - let's win that $3,500!
