In only eight weeks Christmas will be here.

That means hot cocoa, bright trees, family reunions and, of course, gifts. 

This season, there’s a way to buy fun gifts for your family while also supporting local schools.

Schoolstore.com is an online shopping mall that partnered with hundreds of stores, including Target, WalMart.com and Sears. Participating merchants contribute an average of 5%-10% but some go as high as donating 50% of sales!

To get started, simply visit schoolstore.com. Look on the top-right corner and click on “find my school.” Clearwater-Orchard Public School, along with almost every other school in the county, is listed. To Clearwater-Orchard, mark “Orchard, NE” as the location, or type in “Clearwater-Orchard Public Schools.”

Once you’ve selected the school you want to support, simply start shopping! 

Another option schoolstore.com offers is donating a Caring For Classrooms gift card to a student’s classroom. The donation is used by teachers for books,educational magazines and classroom supplies.
