Russ's Market at 17th and Washington has generously agreed to have a change round up drive for Prescott Elementary School's Park from March 1st - March 10th. During these days, the cashiers at Russ's will ask each customer if they would like to round their purchase up to the next dollar amount. That extra change will be donated to Prescott Park. Russ's Market has always been a great supporter of Prescott Elementary. Please remember to ask your cashier to round up your change every time you visit Russ's from March 1st - March 10th!
