Here's a way we can earn money for our homeschool-- and you can help!

I realize that many who read this will be homeschoolers and want to check this out for their own homeschool. Please do so! If you don't have a homeschool to support, please consider ours. Today I sent this to our family, posted it on my LiveJournal and on my Facebook. It's something that can help us and so I am going to try it. A friend of mine is already earning money for her homeschool! Hi family and friends!
As you probably know, we homeschool our children. Jesse is now 7 and in 2nd grade. Anastasia is almost 6 (next month!) and is in first grade. I was recently made aware of an awesome fund-raising opportunity for our homeschool. We are registered with My Homeschool Rewards, a site where you can purchase gift cards and magazine subscriptions, and a percentage of your purchase goes to our fund for curriculum! How wonderful is that?! My friend who told me about the site said she buys Jewel (grocery store) cards and uses them herself, which earns her school money! So even if you don't need a gift for someone else, you could buy yourself a card for something you're already going to spend the money on and help our homeschool in the process. Every little bit helps! There are even gas station and pharmacy gift cards you can get. If you're looking for something fun, there are Blockbuster cards, movie theatres, and more. And don't forget those magazine subscriptions! Here's some information from the site: How it Works * Purchase gift cards through MyHomeschoolRewards.com, auto-order, or phone. * With each purchase, we'll add a donation to your account. * Gift card orders are shipped directly to your home. * Your earnings are tracked and a check for the amount earned will be issued directly to you each quarter. Be smart with your money. Use gift cards for all of your gas, groceries, entertainment, and restaurants -- the donations really add up! Important Note: The cash back is provided by MyHomeschoolRewards.com, not from a reduction of the gift card value. You spend the full value of the gift cards, just like cash. The gift cards we offer are the same gift cards that you would purchase at the store with one important exception: only MyHomeschoolRewards.com gives you cash back on every purchase! Here's the site: http://myhomeschoolrewards Thanks for considering supporting us in this way.  Here are the kids on our recent field trip to Chicago Botanic Gardens to collect leaves and study plants for science.
