Buy groceries, help La Cañada schools

When shopping at Vons in La Cañada and Montrose during the next three weeks you can help raise money for the La Cañada Unified School District PTAs by putting your register receipt into the special containers located at each register.

Vons is sponsoring a Back-to-School program wherein 10% of the price paid for designated products goes back to our local schools. A redemption code appears at the bottom of your receipt if you purchased those products and the PTAs need that redemption code in order to claim the money from Vons. This program continues through Oct.13.

The money raised from the Back-to-School promotion will be split among the district’s five PTAs: La Cañada Elementary, Paradise Canyon Elementary, Palm Crest Elementary, La Cañada High School 7/8, and La Canada High School 9-12.

Thank you for supporting all of our La Cañada schools. A special thank you to Vons and to both of the managers of our local Vons: Joe Landon in La Cañada and Irish Amiciet in Montrose for their support of the program.
