\nThrifty Foods Smile Cards<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\nThis is an easy way to support performing arts at the school, simply by grocery shopping. Pick up a smile card from the school office and load it with funds at any Thrifty Foods location after September 1st. When you do your shopping, $5 from every $100 you spend helps the PAC support performing arts events at the school. Loaded cards also make great gifts!<\/span><\/div>\n
