2008-2009 Store Certificates Chairperson

Renee Kim

This committee recruits stores to participate in donating funds to our school when customers use gift certificates from Waltham in their store.  The committee members sell and distribute the gift certificates to those who want them.

Date:  All year

Time:  Any time

Location:  Waltham North & Waltham South

 

 

Ordering Certificates:

Ordering certificates is done through forms sent home weekly, or by calling one of the committee people.  You will receive the certficates the same day they are ordered, with the exception of Menard's certificates, which require a one-week delivery time.  Your child will be handed the envelope as he/she gets off the bus, or you may pick up the certificates at either school.  Certificates may be ordered any day of the week.

Participating Stores:

 

HyVee: 

HyVee offers gift cards that look like a credit card and work like a debit card.  Your card is swiped through the register, and your purchase amount is deducted from the total on the card.  You will be told the new balance available each time you use the card.  We usually have three denominations available: $25, $50, and $100.  The cards are good anywhere in any HyVee store.  Once it is activated by use, you HyVee card must be used at least once every 6 months.  Please remember Waltham does not receive any credit if you recharge your cards at the store, purchase new cards from the school.

Jewel:

Jewel certificates are available in $25, and $50 denominations.  Other denominations can be ordered on request.  Change will be given in cash up to $5.  If more change is owed to you, it will be given in a gift card.

Kohl's:

Kohl's gift cards are available in $10, $25, $50, and $100 denominations.  These gift cards can be used to pay your Kohl's change bill.

Lil' Bella's Pizza:

Lil' Bella's Pizza certificates are available in $10 denominations.  Any unused portion of a certificate is noted as a credit on the certificate, not given as cash.

Mickey's Massive Burritos:

The certificates are available in $1 denominations.  A 10% donation is returned once all the certificates are sold.  No change is given for unused portions of any certificate.

Thornton's:

The Thornton's program works differently from the other cards.  The cards come pre-load with $10 on each one; they are sold to you for $10.  You keep the card and recharge it at Thornton's in $5 increments up to $500.  These cards can be used over and over again, do not throw them away.  Waltham receives a 6% rebate from sales inside the store and a 2% rebate for fuel purchases.

Wal-Mart

We have $25 and $50 cards available.  They work like a debit card, and your new available balance will show on your receipt.  The card is good for any purchase made at any Wal-Mart or Sam's Club nationwide.  They can be used for your weekly shopping and make great gifts.  Please remember Waltham does not receive any credit if you recharge your cards at the store, purchase new cards from the school.

Target

Target will donate 1% of all purchases paid for with a Target VISA or Target charge card at Target stores and target.com.  Target will also donate 1/2% when a Target VISA is used elsewhere.  To participate in this program, you must designate Waltham as the school you would like to receive the donation from your credit card.  Anyone - aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends - can designate Waltham as their school of choice.
