Cash 4 my Classroom

Ever the bargain hunter, I am always searching for ways to save money and earn money for my classroom. With the holidays rapidly approaching and knowing how many people purchase gift cards around this time and even just go shopping, I wanted to let you know about this! This website, Cash for Classrooms, allows anybody to purchase gift cards, with a percentage of the total purchase being donated to a specified classroom. I have registered for an account on the site and I have already earned money (that I use to purchase supplies for my classroom) by purchasing gift cards for stores I regularly visit such as Jewel, Target, Staples, and gas stations. I figure if I am spending money there anyway, I might as well earn money from doing it! You can purchase gift cards for stores you visit regularly or you can purchase gift cards as gifts. If you pay $25, you receive a $25 gift card. They donate a percentage of your purchase to my classroom. All you need to do is visit the site and sign up for an account!

I love this site because I can earn money for my classroom while shopping at the places I shop at every week! Thanks for supporting my classroom!
