PTO - EASY FUNDRAISING
PTO Officers PTO - Easy Fundraising

Easy Fundraising is the way to go! By simply steering your everyday purchases & habits towards the benefit of Lake Forest Elementary School, significant contributions are made to the school. Every little bit adds up!

This makes a difference to our students by helping us continue to fund key programs such as Art Masters, assemblies and Red Ribbon Week. These funds are also used to meet basic operating needs such as funding auxiliary staff positions. 

With your participation, the potential contribution we can raise during this school year is greater than ever.  

Please take a look at some of these easy ways to raise funds for our school. Some are as easy as shopping for groceries. Help up to continue to get "Extraordinary Results from Ordinary Purchases"!

Ralph's Rewards Program
Did you know that Ralphs Rewards contributed nearly $5,000 to Lake Forest Elementary last year?  Did you know that neighboring elementary schools raise well over $20,000 each year through Ralphs Rewards? With your participation, the potential contribution we can raise during this school year is greater than ever.  

Here is how it works:

  • You receive 1 Point for every $1 you spend on nearly everything at Ralphs.
  • You receive a $5 rewards certificate for every 500 points you collect, and rewards certificates are good toward future purchases at Ralphs.
  • Receive your rewards certificates by mail four times a year, in February, May, August & November.
  • In addition, our school receives 2% - 4% cash back depending on your level of monthly purchases.
    •

Please remember you must re-register every year for our school to continue to get credit for your purchases.
