You Earned $1,388,153.36 for the 2008-2009 year!!
TIE schools for the 2008-09 school year earned $1,388,153.36. We would like to thank all of our schools for their efforts in helping us have another successful year with TIE. We would like to make sure all of our schools are aware of the helpful tips that we have available to help your school make the most of our TIE program. Here are some helpful tips that can get you started early in the upcoming school year.
- School Website - Link directly to harristeeter.com
- Email - Send an email to your parents with a direct link to harristeeter.com or have them respond with their *VIC number and last name (*TIE Coordinators can link cards through Mass Link)
- Phone System - Utilize a service such as “OneCallNow”, send a message home to your parents reminding them to link their VIC card. What better time to remind parents than while they’re at home! They can log onto harristeeter.com and link immediately.
- Soliciting at your local Harris Teeter - Call your local store and schedule your time to solicit customers for TIE links to your school!
- Contact Customer Relations at 1-800-432-6111
Take advantage of our TIE Coordinator section. There are tools that can be very helpful when communicating our TIE program to your staff and parents. Tools that are available are Monthly TIE Newsletters, logos that you can use for any of your communications that go home to the parents and sample letters explaining how the TIE program works.
Don’t forget ALL VIC cards are unlinked on May 31st. Good News! - parents can link their VIC cards over the summer even though the official 2009-2010 year does not start until August 1st. Encourage people to link now!
WE THINK GREEN!
The results are finally in! Thank you for all of our schools that participated in our We Think GREEN contest. The contest started on March 13th and ended on June 1st. It was a long contest, but we hope that it gave you time to education the students on the importance of such a contest. Schools collected over 9,067 bins (30 gallon bags) of plastic bags, that is an average of 8,160,300 loose bags and 116,575 lbs of plastic. Wow, just imagine how much space we saved in the local landfills.
Here are the Top 5 Schools for each of the 3 Harris Teeter regions.
