The Box Tops for Education Program is great way to earn cash for All Saints Academy!

Our goal is for the 2014-15 school year is $2,000 or 20,000 Box Tops.

Please send in Box Tops with your student – collection boxes are in the classrooms.

Also, you could win 2,500 box tops for ASCA. Enter the sweepstakes http://www.boxtops4education.com/bonus-box-tops.  We are looking for volunteers to clip and count Box Tops. This a great job to do at home.  Please email Barbara Garitty at bmgaritty@aol.com if you are interested. (You will also be clipping Campbell Soup UPC codes.)   Thanks for choosing to make a difference for our school with Box Tops!

Did you know that ASCA collects Campbell Soup Labels (UPC’s)? It is a great way for ASCA to earn various items for the school. Please clip the UPC code, the front of the label is no longer accepted. Send in to the classroom with your student.  For V8 products, send in the bottle caps (washed). The students will put them into the Box Tops Collection Boxes (keep sending in the Box Tops too!). For a complete list of products and point values, please visit http://www.labelsforeducation.com/.  We need volunteers to clip and count Campbell’s UPC codes. This a great job to do at home, please email Barbara Garitty at bmgaritty@aol.com if you are interested. (You will also be clipping/counting Box Tops.)

Our ASCA Preschoolers are now doing a Stewardship project.  They are helping an animal shelter, as well as a local vet.   If you’d like to help their efforts it would be appreciated. The details are as follows:

(From now until the end of the school year)

•         Save and bring old newspaper to school--for use in cages

•         Save and bring wine corks (they must be cork, not rubber) to school--for birds and bunnies to gnaw

•         Donate any kind of unopened animal food/treats

Any donations can be brought to Room 105 or Room 103.  THANK YOU!
