Boxtops

Earning money for Waynewood with box tops is easy to do:

  1. Buy participating items that display a box top certificate
  2. Clip the certificate
  3. Send it to school or drop it in the basket in the Waynewood office.

Don't hold on to your box tops - they do expire.  We count and submit the box tops as they come in, so no need to hold on to them.

Current box top participants include: Pillsbury products, Cheerios, Fruit Roll-Ups, Ziploc products, Huggies, Betty Crocker products, Kleenex, Hefty, and Cottonelle.

E-Scrip

For more information, please contact Krista Helvey, the Waynewood PTA E-Scrip Coordinator at krista@alliances.org or 703 619 0495.

Waynewood is a participant in the e-scrip program, which is a fundraiser program that pays our school cash when registered families shop at e-scrip merchants.  The easy part is that there are so many merchants that participate and you are probably shopping at many of them already.

In fact, Safeway is one of the e-scrip merchants and Waynewood receives up to 3% of what you spend there.  All you have to do is register your Safeway card with the e-scrip to begin earning money for Waynewood.  We currently have over 350 registered families earning money for Waynewood, which is about 60% of our student families.  Think how much more we can earn if every family registers!  Further, the program isn't limited to our student families - anyone can sign up and designate Waynewood as the beneficiary.  So encourage family members to help our school, too!

There are two easy ways to register:

On-line:

  1. Go to www.escrip.com
  2. Go to right side, click on "Sign Up, Its Free"
  3. Select "Group ID" and enter "Waynewood" and click search

  5. Provide the required contact information
  6. Register your Safeway card by selecting "Safeway" from the left drop down menu, and entering your 11-digit Safeway card number.  If you don't have your Safeway card number, please call 1-877-SAFEWAY to get it.

You can also register your credit cards so that when you use one of those cards at a participating e-scrip merchant, you can earn additional money for Waynewood.
