West Seattle school news: Holy Rosary students thank Safeway

Holy Rosary School shared that photo, explaining that Dave Dupuy of Jefferson Square Safeway is one of two local Safeway store managers receiving special presentations from students recently; he and Admiral Safeway‘s Amy Hill got posters and certificates in honor of their contributions to the school through the eScrip program. The announcement from Holy Rosary explains, “eScrip contributes to our operating budget which helps keep tuition affordable for all families, compensates our faculty and staff at a just and equitable salary, and continuously improves the learning opportunities for our students.” Last year, the program – which donates a portion of the monthly grocery purchases by each registered participant – brought almost $5,000 to Holy Rosary. Other local schools participate too – you can see the list and support a local school by going to escrip.com.

    Nice commendation for Dave Dupuy. When we did a diaper drive at the Jefferson Square Safeway last year for Westside Baby, he was incredibly helpful. He’s much more than your typical store manager: he really cares for his community!

    Dave has always been very pleasant when I see him. On a related note, I want to really encourage everyone who shops Safeway and uses the Safeway club card (or inputs their phone number instead) to take a minute and register their card so a worthy group gets a percentage of what you spend donated directly to them. If you look at the escrip site, I am sure you will see at least one local cause you would want to receive these funds. It is a SUPER fundraiser in that there is nothing to do once the registration is complete, and it doesn’t cost you a thing.

Sorry, comment time is over.
