The BEST way for us to receive money is for you to click the MERCHANTS TAB at the top and scroll down to find the participating merchants. When you order from these merchants online, St Edward School receives a percentage of the sales. This is a great way to begin your holiday shopping, while also helping out our school. Thanks!
**Just a reminder that there are two programs which provide much needed funds for our School at no additional cost to each of us. Box Tops for Education and Snappy Tomato pizza give us $$$ back for purchases we make every day.
