Fonda Fultonville School Takes Top Place in Price Chopper's Tools for Schools

SCHENECTADY, NY (05/08/2009)(readMedia)-- As school bells rang and school buses hit the road last fall, Price Chopper continued efforts to stock the shelves of schools with the latest technology through its seventh "Tools for Schools" program. Parents, friends and neighbors were encouraged to take part in this innovative, grassroots program by using their Price Chopper AdvantEdge card to help schools rack up credits that will enable them to acquire new equipment and educational materials. As an extra incentive this year, the top 200 schools received a FREE Califone Wireless Presentation Pro System

There were two Grand Prizes of 350,000 Bonus Tape Value Points. Top school based on Total Tape Value was Fonda Fultonville School, located in Fonda, New York. St. Mary's School located in Lee, MA., received the top prize in the Greatest Tape Value to Student Ratio Winner category.

"The Fonda Fultonville Central School District just loves the Price Chopper Tools for Schools Program. Price Chopper has provided school districts with such an awesome tool to earn FREE products for our students. With just one simple step up designating your school to receive points while you do your normal grocery shopping has been a huge tool for us. This year FFCS received a ton of playground supplies for our Elementary school, new microscopes for our MS Science Program and several items including wireless presentation tablets, a camcorder and stereo system for our high school. These are all items that FFCS students would not have due to the current budget situation. On behalf of the students and staff at FFCS I would like to thank Price Chopper and all the shoppers who have designated Fonda Fultonville as their school to receive Tools for School points."
