Safeway/eScrip 10% Back to Schools

Did you shop at Safeway anytime between July 18 and September 4, 2007? If you did, your purchases earned money that can go to Candlewood. If you are already registered with eScrip, your 10% contribution will be automatically donated to Candlewood. If you are not registered with eScrip, ask your cashier for your Register Receipt when shopping anytime between September 10 and October 6, 2007. Deliver all Register Receipts to the Box Tops/Labels for Education collection bin in the Candlewood lobby by October 8, 2007.

Box Tops and Labels for Education

Keep collecting those Labels for Education and Box Tops all summer so that Candlewood can benefit in the fall.  Remember that the Box Tops need to have the expiration date intact.  Box Tops that have expired can not be redeemed.  Campbell’s Labels for Education no longer accepts the front label.  Please clip the new certificates or, if the label doesn’t have the new certificate, clip as one unit the UPC along with the Campbell’s kid or Labels for Education picture that is close to the UPC.   (We must have both the UPC and the picture.)  If in doubt as to what to clip from the label, save the entire label (including the UPC).  Have a wonderful summer and keep clipping so that next year is an even bigger success.
  1. Collect 5-point product UPCs from the Campbell’s Labels for Education™ participating brands.
  2. Glue them on the collection sheet.
  3. Turn in your completed collection sheet to your coordinator!

Web site updates

Welcome back to school for the 2007-2008 school year. We have added a scrolling news bar to the website to try and consolidate space and still give you lots of information. Some links are clickable. Put your cursor over the scroll and when it turns to a hand, it means you can click on a link to go to more information!

Also, we are having issues with AOL email addresses and our listserve. Please use another email address on when signing up or you will not receive emails from the PTA.
