NCS Fundraisers
Ways to help NCS Financially

There are seven ongoing fundraisers at NCS that do not cost any money, and are a great help to the school! Please browse through to see if there are any in which you can participate.

Giant BonusCards and Keytags
Those keytags or cards they swipe every time you check out at Giant can earn the school money, and it costs you nothing! Giant will donate 1% of all the money you spend to the school through the A+ School Rewards program.

Enter your name and bonus card number below. You may also enter your email and the NCS Family who referred you, if you wish.

*Name on Card:
Email Address:
*Bonuscard Number:
NCS Family Name:
*Required
By clicking submit, you agree to let NCS register your Bonuscard Number for the promotion every year, unless you call to cancel your number. Remember, this costs you absolutely nothing as Giant donates the proceeds to NCS.

Grocery Cards
If you are already participating in this fundraising program, we would like to thank you. Last school year, you helped to raise over $5,500 for NCS!

If you have not used the gift card program yet, we would like to encourage you to do so. When you receive your cards, they can be used just like any other gift card. You will pay no more than you usually would for your groceries. Your card may be reused until the balance reaches zero.

Because we purchase the cards in bulk amounts, NCS receives 5% of the value of every card. Just imagine how much our school families must spend on groceries each week! If we would all consistently participate in this simple program, we could earn a significant amount of funds for our school.

For your convenience, cards will also be on sale at Parent-Teacher meetings. We appreciate the work of Carol Gessner in managing this program for us. If you have any questions regarding the program, please call the school office at (570) 473-9786.

GoodShop
Do you shop online?  Well, did you know that there's an easy and FREE way for your online shopping to support the school? 

It's called GoodShop, a service provided by the folks at GoodSearch.  How does it work?  It's as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. Go to www.goodshop.com
2. In the field at the top of the page where it says "Who do you GoodSearch for?", type in "Northumberland Christian School" and click the yellow "Verify" button next to the field.  After doing that, the field should now show "Northumberland Christian School (Northumberland, PA)"
3. Click on one of the retailer links on the lower part of the page to go to that retailer's site to do your online shopping as you normally would.

That's it!  By using the retailer links on that page, a percentage of the purchase that you make at those retailers will be credited towards NCS's account. 

Also, be sure to note that the GoodShop page by default just shows some of the "Most Popular" retailers, a list of only 40 or so stores.  However, if you click on the field "Most Popular (click here for more options)" right above all of the retailer links, and in that field select "All Stores", the page will update showing ALL of the retailers that participate. Stores like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, eBay, NewEgg, and Dell are just a few of the places that will donate a portion of your purchase. There are a total of over 400 online stores!

So, the next time you want to buy a book, a shirt, a plane ticket, rent a hotel room or car, or buy anything else online, simply go to www.goodshop.com first.

Restaurants & Retailers Gift Cards
Thank you for making the Restaurants & Retailers Gift card order a success in December. We sold over $10,000 worth of gift cards which earned more than $700 for NCS. Our plan is to continue this program throughout the year by placing orders at the end of each month. You may place your order anytime before the last Monday of the month and the cards will be available by the following Monday. In addition, a few Dunkin Donuts, Sheetz and Wal-Mart cards will be kept on hand in the office to be purchased more frequently just like we do with the Weis and Giant cards.

Although there are almost 40 pages of businesses who participate in this program, our order form will only list a selection from our local area. If you would like to purchase any that are not on our form, please enter it on the "Other" line at the bottom of the sheet. The complete list of available cards can be found here. It includes a wide variety of choices such as Cabela's, Advance Auto Parts, Best Western, Disney, Starbucks, American Airlines, Best Buy, Golfsmith, Dress Barn, and Chuck E. Cheese.

Remember, these cards are not just for gift giving but can be used by you or your friends and family members whenever you shop. Buy a few to keep on hand from the businesses you regularly patronize!

GoodSearch
GoodSearch is a search engine that gives the same search results as Yahoo, but donates $0.01 to the school every time you submit a search. Besides bookmarking the search engine, you can use the search box on the school's homepage or add it to your browser's search box.

Labels for Education
This program allows us to "purchase" equipment for free by using our label credits. More than just Campbell's products are eligible. Click here for a complete list. You no longer need to clip the front of the label – just the UPC code itself. The more you save, the more equipment we can acquire. Thanks for your help!

Box Tops for Education
We also encourage you to participate in the Box Tops for Education program. Cheryl Delsite co-ordinates this program for us. NCS receives ten cents for each coupon you send in to the school. Click here for the list of eligible products.

Any parents who can help collecting labels or boxtops by placing a box at their workplace would increase our benefits in these programs. Let us know if you need more information. Thanks for your help with all these things and your support of the school in so many ways!
