Below are listed ongoing fundraising projects and how to participate. Mountain Oaks is a non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. Each fundraiser takes very little time or effort but can help the school tremendously.
Cookbook Fundraiser
The Mountain Oaks Cookbooks are now available for purchase. Please contact Lorna LaRoe at 286-1269, an Athletic Committee member or the front desk to purchase one (or more)! The price is $10. Thank you for supporting the Mountain Oaks Athletic Program.

See's Candy Fundraiser
The Prom Committee is again selling See’s candy as a fundraiser for the All High School Formal Prom in May. We will be selling peanut brittle, pound of assorted candies, and other Christmas boxes of candy. The order forms will be at all three resource centers and orders will be delivered to the sites. Last year, we raised over $1,000 with See’s candy. We hope all of you will support the prom and do your Christmas candy shopping at Mountain Oaks.
Volunteers Needed:
Castle and Cook Inc., and Les Stanton have been gracious enough to allow us the use of a building in the beautiful new Copper Town Square to sell our See’s Candy. Instead of a See’s booth we are now operating a See’s Candy Fundraiser store. The store is open Friday-Sunday 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Anyone interested in working in the store to complete some of their monthly volunteer hours should contact Samantha at 754-0532, ext. 2258.
The Prom Committee
Box Tops for Education
Each Mountain Oaks site will have a Box Top collection envelope. The money will be raised to help purchase equipment for the new school site.
Phoneraiser Fundraiser
You may be upgrading your current cell phone. Don’t know what to do with your old cell phone? How about donating it to Mountain Oaks so that it can be recycled or refurbished, while raising funds for the Mountain Oaks Prom Committee. Mountain Oaks will receive money for each cell phone and inkjet cartridge it receives.
Your donation will not only Mountain Oaks, but will also help protect the environment. Your unwanted cell phones and inkjet cartridges will be recycled in accordance with EPA regulations or refurbished and reused. Phoneraiser makes your un-needed technology available to those who can use it, while keeping it out of the landfill. If improperly disposed of, the cell phone can pollute up to 132, 000 liters of drinking water.
Direct TV 4 Schools Fundraiser
Mountain Oaks is participating in the Direct TV 4 School Fundraiser. Mountain Oaks will receive $100 for each person who activates or extends Direct TV service for a year. Please use the school code LMYS for the school to receive the fundraising credit. You can call 1-888-388-4727 to order or go to http://www.directv4schools.com/. Family and friends may also sign up for Direct TV using the Mountain Oaks code.
MarVal Fundraiser
Holiday food shopping totals add up quickly. Please remember to save all of your MarVal receipts and bring them to Mountain Oaks. MarVal will donate a percentage of the total receipt amount.
Raley’s Quality of Life Card Fundraiser
As you are out doing your food shopping, please remember to use your Raley’s Quality of Life card. If you do not already have a Raley’s card you may pick it up at any of the Mountain Oaks’ sites. When families use these cards, a portion of your total purchases will be donated to Mountain Oaks.
eScrip
It's quick and easy to help raise money for Mountain Oaks School with the eScrip program. All you have to do is register any or all of your grocery cards, credit cards and debit/ATM card with eScrip. Every time you make a purchase at any one of the over 800 participating business partners with your registered card, that company will contribute a percentage of your total qualified purchases back to the school. Some of the eScrip business partners are: Big O Tires, Pep Boys, Eddie Bauer, Linens 'n Things, Macy's, Sierra Trading Post, Food 4 Less, Pak 'n Save, Payless Market, Safeway, Vons, Baja Fresh, Round Table Pizza, Office Max, Sacramento Bee, and Big 5 Sporting Goods.
Here's How it Works:
1. You register any one or all of your existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program online at www.escrip.com/program
2. Participating merchants will make contributions to your chosen group, based on purchases made by you, just by using the cards you have registered.
3. Your purchases are tracked and available to you online, allowing you to see just how much you are earning on your child's behalf!
