Turn your purchases into Renewable energy!

DID YOU KNOW there are three programs that provide funds to Chappaqua schools at no cost to you or the District?

The CCSD’s Green Committee is reaching out to the Chappaqua community so we can turn your purchases into renewable energy sources for the Chappaqua Central School District!

1. Box Tops For Education: Clip and periodically deposit box tops in collection boxes located in all 6 schools, Senior Center, Town Hall, Education Center and Chappaqua Library. It helps us if the box tops are clipped and packaged in groups of 50. Please visit www.boxtops4education.com for a complete list of products; a list of participating stores so you can earn cash for our schools when you shop at their websites; and monthly bonus offers to earn a little extra for our schools.

2. Target Take Charge of Education: Simply visit the “sign me up” section at www.target.com to assign your Target Red Card (either debit card or credit card) to one of our 6 schools. You will save 5% initially and Target will donate up to 1.0% of all purchases to the District.

3. Amazon Smile: When shopping Amazon.com, simply sign in at smile.amazon.com and select Chappaqua Central School District. Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible AmazonSmile purchases to our schools.

The funds generated from these programs will be used to purchase energy-oriented equipment for our schools such as:

• Solar panels
• Wind turbines
• LED parking lot lighting
• Rain-water runoff usage

This cohesive program will have the following benefits:

• Educational: Classes and clubs can study the technology.
• Environmental: Help reduce the District’s carbon footprint.
• Financial: Help the District save money because funds come from outside District budget, and the District will reduce its energy costs.
