Target Seeks Votes for Local School Donations

By Tyler Waldman

With schools across DC starting over this week and over the next few weeks, most parents are thinking about school supplies, among other things.

But how about supplies for your school? Target is running an online campaign where, if a school gets 25 votes on its Give With Target website, the retailer will donate $25 to the school, and an additional dollar for every vote after that.

As of Tuesday, Aug. 27 Falls Church schools had the following vote count:

Beech Tree Elementary School -30 

Bailey’s Elementary School- 21

Belvedere ES – 21

Falls Church HS – 38

Graham Road ES – 38

Lemon Road ES – 14

Marshall HS – 4

Luther Jackson MS – 2

Pine Spring ES – 6

Sleepy Hollow ES – 45

Mount Daniel ES – 3

Thomas Jefferson ES – 16

Westgate ES – 9

Woodburn ES – 8

Westlawn ES – 3

Other schools, both private and public, are available for online voting, but currently do not have any votes. See how your school stacks up here.

Target will donate up to $5 million to schools nationwide, twice what the retailer set aside to donate in 2012. You can vote through Sept. 21.
