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.
www.tyson.com/projectaplus.com
- 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.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Angi Toth 784-5172 or momoffrank@yahoo.com

Welcome to the Rosa Parks-Edison PTA website!
We are a member of the National Parent Teacher Association and mirror their mission statement and purpose.
The Mission of the Parent Teacher Association
- To support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the community, and before governmental bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children;
- To assist parents in developing the skills they need to raise and protect their children;
- To encourage parent and public involvement in the public schools of this nation.
The Purposes of the Parent Teacher Association
- To promote the welfare of the children and youth in home, school, community, and place of worship.
- To raise the standards of home life.
- To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth.
- To bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth.
- To develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for all children and youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education.
The PTA at the local level is linked to the state PTA and National PTA, forming a nationwide network of members working on behalf of all children and youth.
Because of its connections to the state and National PTAs, the local PTA is a valuable resource to its school community with:
- access to programs to benefit children, youth, and their families, and
- the recognition and size to influence the formulation of laws, policies, and practices—education or legislative.
If you are a parent of a student at Rosa Parks-Edison Elementary we’d love for you to join our organization to help improve the lives and education of our children and students.
