B is for Box Tops
One way Edison can earn extra money is by saving Box Tops! The money earned from saving Box Tops has purchased many things at Edison over the years such as library books, new rugs, picnic tables in the courtyard and, most recently, the mural in the gym, among other things! We will have a competition between PRO times to see which PRO can collect the MOST Box Tops between now and March 1. We will do a collection in December and then again towards the end of February.
Don’t throw away your Box Tops! (See sample above. Please be observant of expiration dates and throw away expired Box Tops.) Tear off Box Tops from eligible products and send them to school with your student. (It’s best to send them in an envelope or baggie with your child’s PRO teacher’s name on it.) Each Box Top is worth 10¢ for Edison. This adds up quickly! A complete list of eligible products is found on the site below. Visit http://www.boxtops4education.com/earn/participating-products to see a complete list of participating products. Please help us out by saving Box Tops for EDISON. Thank you! C is for Color-a-Thon
Color-A-Thon is a memory-maker for family and friends that builds community through colorful camaraderie. The PTO uses money raised from donations and fundraisers to purchase items for the school and support our teachers. The Elkay Water Bottle Filling Stations, the Memorial Garden, auditorium lighting and sound updates, gymnasium projection screen, cafe sound system, and benches for the courtyard are a few examples.
C is also for Chip Shoppe/Cherrydale Farms catalog sales, which take place in late fall.
