SIGN UP FOR GERBES COMMUNITY REWARDS: OLOS is enrolled in the
Gerbes “Community Rewards” program. This program offers money back to our
school, based on enrolled customer’s spending. It is a really easy process. You
just tie your Gerbes shopper’s card to our school account. If you don’t have a
Gerbes shopper’s card, it takes less than a minute to get one at the store and
also online. All the information needed to complete this process is online. @ www.gerbes.com/communityrewards.
Our school code is 48253. It takes
just a couple minutes so get all your family and friends to register as well!
The school will receive quarterly payments in cash form. We will update you as

– the key is to get many, many people involved. Please pass the word to family
and friends and thanks for supporting OLOS School!!!
