"Just Write A Check" Program

Here’s how it works:

    • Write a check to the General Wayne Elementary School PTO (GWES PTO)

    • Contact your employer to see if they offer a matching program.

    • Complete and detach the bottom portion of this letter JWAC and send it with your check to the school office, via backpack mail or postal mail to GWES, 20 Devon Road, Malvern, PA 19355. *Be sure to note on the envelope: ATTN: GWES PTO – JWAC

  • Please consider donating as generously as your family budget allows. Your contribution is confidential and tax deductible. It will play a crucial role in helping to preserve the many unique educational programs that extend our students’ learning experience beyond the classroom. In addition, each year the PTO can fund assemblies, teacher appreciation events, field day, Reading Olympics and much more.

Collect "Box Tops"

Check out all of the boxes you use (food, house items, etc.) for the Box Tops symbol. It is an easy way for our school to raise money on things you already purchase! We collected over $1,300 in box tops last year--which is a lot considering each one is worth 10 cents!

  • Please send them in with your kids before that date – the winning class gets a pretzel party! They do have expiration dates so it is best to send them in frequently!

  • There is also a free Box Top app that makes it super easy to collect more for our school just by selecting an offer, buying the item and submitting a picture of the receipt. Learn more about scanning coupons at https://www.boxtops4education.com/

  • And, finally, we’re collecting Coke codes from bottle caps and soda packs – those codes are worth at least 5 cents each. Just send them in along with your Box Tops.

  • Any questions, please contact Tara Koup at tarakoup@gmail.com

Amazon Smile

Parents-do you use Amazon? You can use Amazon's charitable giving program, Amazon Smile, to support our school. It's exactly the same as regular Amazon-your prime account works, same prices-but by using Amazon Smile our school gets a small percentage of eligible purchases. So if you're already spending $ there, it's a no brainier! Be sure to bookmark & go to www.smile.amazon.com to support our school!
