Ultra Shopping For St. Ethelreda

When you shop at Ultra Foods this holiday season, you'll be helping our school. St. Ethelreda parents, families and friends are encouraged to shop at Ultra Foods this holiday season as part of our PTO's Ultra Foods Fund-Raiser.

From now through December 31, Ultra Foods will donate 5% of your shopping dollars back to St. Ethelreda. So, please take your shopping list to Ultra Foods and remember these three magic words: Save Your Receipts!

Save Your Receipts and bring them to St. Ethelreda. A bin for Ultra Foods receipts is located just outside Principal Spells' office. Ultra Foods will donate 5% of our receipt tally to St. Ethelreda at year's end. This will be a great fund-raiser for our school!

On Friday October 26, St. Ethelreda School will be participating in the 8th annual Lend-A-Shoulder Day. This is truly a special honor for our school!

Lend-A-Shoulder Day is sponsored each year by the Big Shoulders Fund. On this day, members of the Big Shoulders Fund visit selected schools in the morning. Our visitors will be leaders of Chicago's corporate and civic community.

During this morning visit, we will be showcasing our unique school and talented students. Lend-A-Shoulder Day is an opportunity for us to foster relationships with these special visitors from the Big Shoulders Fund. These relationships are vital to keeping St. Ethelreda strong now and in the future.
