| There are many ways to support our wonderful school. Below is a list of all the different fundraising methods El Oro Way Elementary participates in. |

Direct Giving El Oro Way has a very active PTA. Last year through your generous support of our fundraisers PTA was able to fund additional programs and activities that were not covered by LAUSD. These included programs such as:
PTA has set a goal of raising $50,000 this year through our E.A.G.L.E. annual giving program (El Oro Assists Growing and Learning Excellence). This program puts 100% of your tax-deductible donation immediately to work for our school, directly benefiting our students. We are suggesting a $100 donation per child attending the school (but please remember that your participation of any amount will help us reach our goal). The suggested donation amounts to 55 cents a day for a quality education that compares to one received at a private school that can cost thousands a year! If you'd like to donate, click here for an E.A.G.L.E. Donation Form (pdf). Back to top Scrip What Is Scrip? Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our organization.  How scrip generates revenue for you The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non‑profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the scrip is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value. The discount ‑ from two to fifteen percent or more – is our organization’s revenue. Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising” Scrip is a popular fundraiser because families don’t have to sell anything. Organization members produce revenue by making regular household purchases they would make anyway. Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with scrip.
