Grove School » Whole Foods

Fresh, Wholesome and Beautiful

As you know, all of the food we serve for snacks is organic. The fruits, vegetables and products are all purchased at Whole Foods. I shop for the food each week to ensure freshness. While shopping the other day, I allowed my photographer’s eye to be caught be all the neatly displayed and colorful produce that is arrayed as you walk in the entrance of the Cary Whole Foods.

For my photographer friends, I apologize that the photos are really not photo quality. I took them all on my cell phone…gag. Nonetheless, I still find it visually interesting.

Enjoy the photos!

A new referral program for our friends

New families are coming to check out the schools every day. One of the questions we always ask is, “How did you hear about us?” Most people answer, “from a friend.”

We’re thrilled by the response to The Grove School and want to thank the people in our community who send new families our way. To do that, we’ve started a “friends” of the school referral program. Here’s how it works:

Friends of The Grove School Referral Program

What You Get:
When you refer a family to our school, we’ll send you a $25 Whole Foods gift certificate for each new child enrolled.

What They Get:
Besides an amazing preschool education, parents you refer get a $100 tuition credit for each child they enroll. Plus we donate $100 to the Wake Audubon Society (Cary) or the Holifield Science Learning Center (Plano) in their family’s name.

How to Get your Gift Certificate
Contact the Head of School in your area. In Cary, that’s Scott Andersen. In Plano, it’s Wendy DeSpain. They will give you a referral card you can hand out to a prospective family. You’ll need to include your name and contact info on that card to be eligible for the $25 Whole Foods gift certificate.

Leave a comment below if you have any questions.

Legal details:

New families will receive a $100 tuition credit for each new child enrolled. The Grove School will also make a $100 donation per family to either the Wake Audubon Society or the Holifield Science Learning Center (“Donation”). Tuition credits and Donations are only valid for new families who enroll at The Grove School. Families currently enrolled at The Grove School who refer a new family will receive a $25 Whole Foods gift certificate (“Gift Certificate”).

Offers expire 12/31/2010, have no cash value and are non-transferrable. Gift Certificates and Donations are limited to one per family. Offers are not valid with additional offers or discounts and subject to age acceptance and availability. Contact Head of School for further details.
