Give to local schools through Give with Target

So, you've probably seen some "Give with Target" posts in your Facebook feed these past few weeks with people asking you to vote for their school, right? Why you ask? The answer is simple, to try to get votes for their school, which directly translates into dollars from Target.

All you have to do is select a K–12 school from Target's list of eligible schools and vote for it weekly until September 21 or until $5 million has been awarded, whichever occurs first. It takes just 25 votes to start. After that, Target will donate $25 to your selected school. Upon receiving 25 votes, each additional vote equals $1 more for up to $10,000 per school! 

For example, here are a list of the elementary school's in our district that you should be able to vote for: Capri, El Camino Creek, Flora Vista, La Costa Heights, Mission Estancia, Ocean Knoll, Olivenhain Pioneer, Park Dale Lane, Paul Ecke Central.  Our local middle schools and high schools should also be on Target's list. Please take a minute and help your local school; more votes = more money for them!
