 1. KOHA App

Support our local businesses AND give back to Whittier’s PTA by downloading the KOHA app!
KOHA is a loyalty program to help simplify fundraising when you shop local.
Here’s how it works:

  1. Download the KOHA app on iPhone, iPad or Android mobile device.
  2. Make a purchase at participating KOHA merchant locations.
  3. Use the app to take a picture of the receipt.
  4. A percentage of the purchase amount goes to Whittier PTA, and to you in rewards points. Accumulate points and redeem rewards at any KOHA merchant location!

CLICK HERE to visit the KOHA website for more information.  Thank you for taking the time to give back to Whittier!
 

2. Coffee with the Presidents

Have a burning question or idea for your PTA presidents? Can’t make an evening meeting but mornings are your jam? Want to get to know us, or just haven’t seen us in awhile? Meet us for coffee on Friday November 30th at Panera on Ogden at 9am – the agenda is all yours this time! Hope you can make it!

3. Amazon Smile 5% Donation

AmazonSmile has donated over $100 million to charities around the world! To celebrate, they’re launching the biggest bonus donation to date… now through Nov 2 they are donating 5% (ten times the usual amount!) to Whittier Elementary School PTA!
