Albertsons Community Partners

2009-02-18T13:06:00.000-08:00

As some of you know (and some who may not know) we have a great opportunity to earn money for the school through Albertsons Community Partners. It works by linking your Albertsons Preferred Savings card to our school. For every purchase you make on your card our school will get a percentage of the money. To continue (or begin) using the Community Partners, your Preferred Card needs to be linked to the school again. Feel free to ask family, friends and neighbors to link their cards to our school. I know that for the Rigby area we are the only school doing their program. Family and friends out of the area can link their cards, too. As long as Grandma in California shops at Albetsons, proceeds can go to us if she is linked to our school! What an easy and great way to earn some extra money for the school. To link up your card, go to www.albertsonscp.com, enter the preferred card number, and enter our ID number found below. Thank you for supporting our school!
