Help Wanted!!!

Dear RPE Families,

Welcome back to another great year at Rosa Parks-Edison Elementary!! We had a really good year last year. We more than doubled our money that we received from Box Tops from the previous year! Way to help our RPE school!  We brought in a whopping total of $1533.70 through Box Tops alone last school year!!! We also were able to purchase many items with our Campbell’s UPC’s points, including a lot of playground equipment for recess, some educational DVD’s, sensory items and a microscope!

Just a reminder, that we are collecting the UPC’S of the Campbell’s products. We are still collecting the Box Tops which can now be found on even more products. Don’t forget about the Sunbeam bread UPC’s, the Project A + labels on Tyson chicken, as well as the Nestle’ Pure Life Water Bottle Labels. We have recently added the bottle brigade! That is a recycling program where we collect  20 oz bottles that have small mouths, and the labels removed. For example any 20oz Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper bottle with it’s label removed would be ideal.

If you are wondering what all do we receive for our efforts in collecting these items, check out the following:

  • Box Tops = 10 cents per Box Top, more on Super Box Tops as well as occasional Bonus Box Tops on your grocery receipts, so watch your receipts! We also get bonus Box Tops credit if you go on the website and sign up to support our school!
    www.boxtops4education.com
  • Campbell’s = 1 point per UPC except for special items such as Goldfish Crackers which are worth 5 points! Check out the website for a list of all the participating products. We then have a catalogue of items we are able to receive through redeeming our points.

  • Nestle’ Pure Life Water = we again receive points for each label to which we may redeem for sports equipment for our school.

  • Sunbeam Bread “School Spirit” UPC’s = 5 cents for every UPC which is found on the bottom of the bag.

  • Tyson “Project A+” Labels =  24 cents per Label.

  • Bottle Brigade = we receive 5 cents for every 20 oz small mouthed bottle we collect. 6 cents if it is rinsed and the label removed.

Every classroom has a ziplock bag (Box Tops can be found on the Ziplock boxes!) to which the teachers will be collecting the above in. There will be a collection box for the bottles. Please help us help our school. It doesn’t cost you anything except a little time.
