Our nation's schools need our help and my son's school has started a new program that I think alot of us might find exciting. It's called School Share and what it is is a website that almost 150 online merchants have signed up for (i.e. Land's End, Sears, Nordstrom's, Lillian Vernon, DELL, DisneyStore, Barnes and Noble, etc.) All the merchants have agreed to give a percentage of your purchase back to the school of your choice. With the Christmas season right around the corner this could be a simple way for us to contribute to our schools. All you have to do is sign up for a very simple account by clicking on any store listed on the site and then you pick the school of your choice. There are plenty of school's who are doing this so please check the list (the school also must be doing market day which is a monthly grocery program to participate in school share)....BUT if you don't see a particular school on there that you are interested in then please consider my son's school which is Alan Shepard in Long Grove, Iowa. Basically if you are EVER going to make an online purchase I ask that you stop by this site first, after signing in you pick the merchant you would like and it will re-direct you to their site. This is a great way to help our schools in America...some of the merchants give back as much as 15%. I just ordered some magazines through one site that does just that! Here's a link http://www.schoolshare.com

I'm so glad to hear that some posters have signed up for this program! Thank you war and secret! I know that with Christmas coming I will be doing some online shopping and like you said secret I'm always happier knowing that some of the money goes to a good cause. Especially when I was going to be spending that money anyway! Thanks again!

Hey shoppers! We moved this into this thread for all you shoppers to see. This looks like a great program and one that can benefit some kiddos during the normal routine of holiday shopping. TVCH Mods
