Thus, if possible, I would strongly encourage everyone to save the parking spots that are close to the building to our teachers (priority) and admin staff. Just a small way to express our gratitude to our teachers.

There are 2 ways to continue supporting our community through our partnership with RaiseRight and AmazonSmile. This is a great way for you to show support on what you already purchase or plan to purchase.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RaiseRight formerly ShopWithScrip<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As the holiday season is here, any physical or electronic gift card purchases will help PCLS, much like the Amazon Smile program.\u00a0 Any fundraising efforts will be at no cost to you and gift cards are purchased based on face value.\u00a0 After you open an account, the gift cards can be purchased on the ShopWithScrip website directly or on their app, RaiseRight (only one login account needed). Once purchased, any e-gift cards are accessible on the app and are reloadable. They can also be emailed as a gift which is convenient during these times. If you prefer to have the gift cards mailed, then there is a small fee of $1 for the first card and $0.50 for each additional. They even have expedited services for those last minute gifts! There is a nominal % transactional fee which applies if using a credit card. If using a bank account, only $0.15 is charged for the entire transaction, whether it&#8217;s 1 or multiple gift cards!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, these gift cards are not limited to only the holiday season. You can reload the funds onto a gift card that was previously purchased through ShopWithScrip and use them at restaurants, grocery stores or any other places you frequent. Just think, you can support PCLS while you buy your normal groceries and can even access the egift cards right on the app at checkout!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To get started, please see the instructions attached and make sure that you use the enrollment code below to link your purchases to the PCLS account.
