Boxtops for Education Program for St. Barbara School
BOX TOPS BLIZZARD RESULTS We had 642 snowballs thrown. The class that was hit the least and the winner of the ice cream sundaes was Ms. O'Meara's 2nd grade. Our next contest will start in early April when we come back from Spring break. Thanks for all your support.
Reminder, the book club order forms and payments are due back to school by next Wednesday, March 12th.
Please take a look at the Campbell's website (www.labelsforeducation.com) to see the current list of UPC Codes and Lids that Campbell's will accept. A major change is that ONLY LIDS from Prego, V8, V8 Splash Smoothies & V8 V-Fusion products are accepted, NOT the UPC codes.
Campbell's will only be accepting UPC Codes and Lids. If you're not sure what to cut, send in the entire label and we'll do the cutting.
Last Year's events give you an idea of what to expect for this year!
