It is also important to note that you MUST update the Safeway account EVERY YEAR. It isn't a once and you're done thing. Many parents forget to update their eScript profile and reactivate their club cards every year and this leads to a drop off in funding.I would talk to your school site and suggest the bank of computers, (in case they don't already do it). This program is the easiest form of "fundraising" that I know of. It also helps to have a parent volunteer at the bank of computers to help parents register if they have questions. Hey Guys,

Hopefully the PFCs will set the time up at the beginning of the school year (or mid-year at this point) to walk parents through the process of getting setup w/ eScript or SCRIP. The ROI on the time spent providing instruction will be phenomenal!Thx, John Z. Hi Chris – that sounds like a great idea.

This builds more gas discounts.I think schools should spend 20 minutes explaining this to parents on Back to school night and dump all the garbage about how hard they work for us and why they missed there deadlines for projects etc.We ALL work hard, Just tell us how we can help.. I added my AMEX and my Parents.
