Box Tops from General Mills and Campbell's Labels

Attention parents! Want a simple way to help our school?  All you have to do is clip and send in labels from the foods you already purchase.  We are excited to participate in two of these programs:  The first is the "Box Tops for Education" program.  Look for the box tops on General Mills, Pillsbury, Green Giant, Betty Crocker, Old El Paso, Yoplait or Hamburger Helper products.  The box tops are worth ten cents each, which General Mills sends to us in the form of a check that we add to the general PTO fund.  This fund supports the Helping Hand program, provides books for the SMILES Book Distribution Program, and helps to pay for field trips and Teacher Appreciation activities, to name a few. The second is the "Campbell's Labels for Education" program.  You can find these labels on Campbell's, V8, Franco American, Pace, Prego, Swanson or Pepperidge Farm products.  It states beside the Campbell's pencil logo whether to save the UPC label, lid, etc.  The Campbell's program has a catalog full of items that we can "purchase" with our labels, such as art and music supplies, software, sports equipment, and books for the library and math and science supplies.  Just clip the labels, stick them in your child's folder, and send them to school.  The labels will be collected periodically, tallied, and credited to your child's class.  At the end of the school year we will have a party for the class that brings in the most labels and box tops.  Whether you collect two or two hundred of them, please send them in because every single one makes a difference.  Thank you for supporting this effort to make our children's experience at Margaret Beeks even better!  Please contact Sandy Grant, or one of the PTO Board Members, if you have any questions or ideas.
