Take Charge of Education Program
Target Visa, Credit and Debit Card holders, we need your help! All you have to do is shop! Target’s Take Charge of Education program donates 1% of your purchase to Littleton High School whenever you shop at Target and pay with your Target Visa, Target Credit card or Target Debit card. However, you must designate Littleton High School as your school of choice. You may do this either online or over the phone. Online, click on the Manage Your Account tab and follow the steps to designate Littleton High School or you may call 1-800-316-6142 and press 1, you will then speak to a customer service representative who will take your information. It’s as easy as that.

Every time you use your card or cards at Target we will receive 1% of the total from your purchases; if you use your Target Visa card elsewhere, we will receive ½ % from your purchase. 1% does not sound like a lot but look at the numbers. Currently 54 people have Littleton High School designated as their school. This year, we received a check for $815.48, last year $964.28. We have over 1300 students at our school. If we can triple the number of families participating, that would triple the donation Target makes to LHS. This money supplements our many programs that make Littleton High School such a great school.

Please take a moment to designate Littleton High School and thank you to the 54 families who are already supporting LHS through the Take Charge of Education program.
