STA’s gift card program is called SchoolBucks. The school purchases gift cards from a variety of retailers at a discounted price. Depending on the retailer, STA receives between 2-10% of every $100 gift card sold as revenue back to the school.
Parents can purchase these gift cards to cover costs for weekly household items, or as gifts. There is no need to change your buying habits.
Earning Potential
The program does not add to your expenses: it’s simply a way to pay for your household expenses AND provide STA with the opportunity to reach its priorities for the year.
If each family at the school purchased a $100 grocery card each week for the entire school year, the school would earn $96,000 in a single year.
Some of the retailers include:
· Grocery Stores – SaveOn, Thrifty Foods, Stong’s and more
· Restaurants – Joey’s, Earls, Fresh Slice Pizza and more
· Specialty Retailers – Indigo, Spa Utopia, Sport Check, Fairmont Hotels and more
