Kroger Cares Program
  • Simply purchase a Kroger gift card and the Clear Creek PTO will receive 3% profit on your purchase. These gift cards can be used for all items that are sold at Kroger, including prescriptions, cosmetics, food, gas and paper products.

  • Once you use all of the money on the card, all you need to do is add more money to your Kroger Cares gift card at any Kroger store. Just by doing your grocery shopping, you are helping us with our fundraising efforts for computers, literacy and playground equipment.

  • You may purchase Kroger Gift Cards in any amount between $5 and $500. When purchasing Kroger gift cards please make your checks payable to Clear Creek Elementary School PTO.

Market Day
  • Purchase food from Market Day and 10% of the profit goes to the Clear Creek Elementary School PTO.
  • Taste the difference of Market Day foods. Because Market Day buys direct from the same vendors that sell to the finest restaurants, you'll find that their quality, convenience, value and outstanding taste will have you coming back for more.
  • Items may be ordered by turning in the Market Day order sheet sent home with your child on the date specified or you can order items online.
  • Volunteer to help with Market Day - 1 day per month for about 2 hours each.

  • Santa's Secret Shop is a program that allows children to purchase their own special holiday gift for family and friends. They will have fun surprising a loved one with a "secret" gift they bought all by themselves. Gifts range in price from $0.25 to $15.00. All gifts purchased will be taken home immediately and individual gift bags are provided at no extra charge.
  • There are a wide variety of gifts to choose from, including: candles, jewelry, key rings, plaques, coffee mugs, toys and stuffed animals.
  • An adult volunteer will guide each child through Santa's Secret Shop.
  • The shop will be open from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm.

  • The PTO needs people to help set-up, decorate, and inventory items the evening before starting at 6:30 pm. We also need people to lead children through the shop, help with the breakfast, inventory afterwards, and clean-up. If you are able to participate in any way, please contact Shari Prince. Just 1-2 hours of your time would be greatly appreciated.
