First Payout!
Schools that earned $250.00 from August through November will be receiving their first payout check in the mail. Schools earned $382,146.25 during the first Together in Education payout.
It is not too late to ask customers to link their VIC card to our TIE program. Get the message out there to your parents, here are a few ideas:
- Flyers and Newsletters - Don't forget to mention your School Code in your communications with parents
- 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!
We are asking for our schools help one last time this year. Is your school ready for Earth Day, we would like to get your school thinking about how they can help the environment with our We Think GREEN contest. The contest will run from March 10th until April 13th, so start collecting. Last year 141 schools recycled over 8.6 million plastic bags!
Visit our We Think GREEN page for last years winner and details about the contest.
