Help Clifford Elementary while you shop

If you are grocery or gift shopping this week, it’s easy to take a few extra steps to help Clifford as you do.

Anyone can earn eScrip Dollars for Clifford School–you can even rally your friends and family members to help out! Get started by going to www.escrip.com to create your membership profile and select “Clifford School” as your school/nonprofit. Clifford’s eScrip ID is 118392687.

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.

Amazon: non-registered supporters can earn money for Clifford too!

October Reading and Listening Challenge!

Donate now to support our students!

If you prefer to pay by check, please make payable to Clifford PTO and mail to Clifford PTO 225 Clifford Avenue Redwood City, CA 94062 or drop in the Black PTO slot in the school office.

Student’s Name *AND*/ Grade:
Student’s Teacher


In October the Clifford PTO is focusing on literacy with the Reading and Listening Challenge. Working in partnership with the Clifford Elementary Teaching Staff and Principal, students are encouraged to participate in daily literacy activities including reading books, comics, newspapers and online articles, and listening to music, podcasts or stories.  

This year we want to increase student participation. If 75% of the class participates, their teacher will do something fun/crazy. What does participation entail? We want your student to do a literacy activity 20 days out of 31 days. In addition, the student who raises the most money in the class for the fundraiser will get to do something special with his/her teacher. If a large number of students across all grades participate, then Principal Crane will also do something fun as well. Kids can participate whether or not they raise money, mainly we want them to try to focus on literacy activities during October.

Parents we need your help! We would love for kids to see parents and community members reading in class. Want to be a guest reader in the class? Talk to you teacher. Do you know someone in the community that would be great guest reader? Contact Sarah La Torra at sarahlatorra@yahoo.com and we will find a way for them to participate during the month of literacy. Finally, if you are someone who is happier working in the background, we could use your help on other tasks–send me a message and we will find a way for your to participate.

Thank you for supporting the literacy efforts of your students!
