After you set up membership for eScrip, be sure to:

  • Register your debit and credit cards (it’s a secure site). Every time you use the cards at any participating store, or online, a portion of what you spend will be given to Clifford School!
  • Register your Bianchini’s store cards, and check out all the other local and national merchants participating in the program.
  • Register your Lucky You Rewards card (or phone number associated with the account)
  • Bookmark the eScrip Online Mall and shop from 800+ participating stores. Find your fave store and click the “Shop Now” button–this is crucial in providing a signal to the store that you are shopping via eScrip.

There’s a strong chance some of your favorite stores–including major department stores and brands like Target, Nordstroms, Apple, Kohls–are donating portions of sales via eScrip, so we encourage you to make the Online Mall your first stop when shopping online. Whether you’re shopping for products or booking travel, a percentage of your purchases will go to Clifford. Win-win!

If you’re already signed up for eScrip, it’s worthwhile to check to see if your cards are up-to-date to make sure Clifford is getting those much-appreciated portions of sales.

Project Cornerstone keeps going virtually!

Schools up and down the Peninsula have partnered with the Silicon Valley YMCA’s Project Cornerstone to use stories that give students tools and strategies to deal with difficult socioemotional situations. Every month parent volunteers read the same book across all grade levels, covering topics such as bullying, teasing, and sad and angry feelings, followed by interactive projects. They also become one of the adults students recognize as someone who cares about them. While all teachers are well-versed in social-emotional learning, Project Cornerstone provides a common theme to each month, teaching students to be kind and calm.
During this challenging year volunteers have had to be creative, but they are still working with classes. Some are able to meet students live on Zoom while others are helping teachers create asynchronous activities for Wednesdays. They look forward to a time when we are all together again!
