Register Your Ralphs Card Today!

We are so grateful for our community partnership with Ralphs! This is the easiest thing you can do to help our school ... so please sign up your Ralphs card today!

Step One!

Go to: https://www.ralphs.com and sign in to your account. Select "Community Contributions". If you don't see "La Cañada High School PTSA 7-12" then please change it to benefit our school and our kids!

That's it! And for you overachievers out there (and who amongst us isn't!?) ... here's Step Two! Bug your neighbors, friends and relatives to sign up their Ralphs cards as well!

Not locals? No problem! Ralphs is part of the Kroger family, so your mother-in-law who lives in Arizona can shop using her Fry's card and benefit LCHS too! Your brother in Washington can shop at Fred Meyer and benefit our kids while he's at it! 

Last quarter we had only 325 families registered and still made $3,000. Just think of what we can earn if all our families register their cards! Thank you!
