Dear Porter Elementary Families,
We need your help! 🐾 Porter Elementary is participating in the Food City School Bucks Challenge, and your Food City purchases can help our school earn money to support our students and classrooms.
If you have a Food City ValuCard, please take a moment to register/link your card to Porter Elementary. Once your card is linked, qualifying purchases will count toward our school’s School Bucks total. The more families and community members who participate, the more money Porter Elementary can earn for classroom supplies, equipment, student needs, and other resources!
It’s easy to participate:
1. Visit foodcity.com/schoolbucks
2. Register or link your Food City ValuCard to Porter Elementary
3. Continue shopping at Food City as usual—qualifying purchases will help our school!
Please also encourage grandparents, family members, friends, and Porter supporters to link their cards. They can support Porter even if they don’t have a student currently attending our school!
Let’s work together to help Porter Panthers earn as much as we can! ❤️🖤🤍
Thank you for supporting Porter Elementary!
