All Wednesdays: 2:15  dismissal

Mileage Club runs through May 23. Our young people have an opportunity to walk or run during designated recesses. Participation is voluntary. A "toe token" is earned for every 5 miles logged and earn a "footprint" to post in the corridor for every 10 miles completed. The purpose of the Mileage Club is to encourage our young people to become more physically active. Mary Greeley Medical Center is partnering with us to bring the Feelin' Good Mileage Club this spring.

KEEP Collecting…Please.

·         Box Tops – Look for Box Tops on General Mills cereals, Fruit Rollups,

Go-Gurts, Betty Crocker muffin and brownie mixes, Ziplocs, and Kleenex.  Each one is worth 10 cents.  Box Tops are now found on even more products – including Country Hearth bread and Pull-Ups/Goodnights.

  • Last year, we collected Box Tops as a mission project for Sacred Heart in Mississippi.  Sacred Heart Elementary School was completely destroyed by hurricane Katrina, and was in the process of rebuilding.  We earned over $1200 for the school.  This year we plan to use the money raised from Box Tops to purchase playgroup equipment for our school.  We will let the children vote on which equipment they would like the most.

·         Campbell’s Labels–   Points earned from last year’s labels purchased Simple Sentences and Pocket Chart for Mrs. Hand’s first grade classroom.  Thank you to all who collected!

Campbell’s Labels are found on soups, Spaghettios, Prego spaghetti sauce, and Pepperidge Farm products (such as Goldfish crackers).  Campbell’s points are redeemed for products for our school.  Please remember, we do not need the entire label.  We only need the UPC off the soup cans, etc.

Please keep the UPC intact when removing the label. Example:

 

·         Tyson A+ Labels – Clip the labels and turn them in to help us get 24 cents per label.

·         Cash for Caps – Swiss Valley Milk Lids –We will be collecting these clean milk lids that are worth 5 cents each.  Swiss Valley milk is available at Sam’s Club and Cub Foods.  We will also collect and redeem Kemps milk lids. 

·         Staples – New This Year!! Staples will give our school $3 for every ink cartridge (ink jet and laser) we recycle.  Please place your used cartridges in a plastic bag.  There will be a separate collection container on top of the shelf to help contain any leaks.  The types of cartridges that they will recycle include Dell, Canon, HP, Sharp, Lexmark, etc.  Please check the website (www.staplesrecyclefored.com) to see if your cartridge is eligible.  They will recycle any and all but only give us money for certain brands and models.

·         Nestle Pure Life Water – New This Year!!  We will be trying this out this year to see how many labels we can collect.  Save the whole label from the water bottles and they can be redeemed for sports and fitness equipment for our school.  It works best to remove the entire label and then fold it in half so that the “sticky” part is contained.

·         Collection Boxes – The collection box for the preschoolers will be located in the preschool room.  The collection boxes for the other grades are located by the entrance to the multipurpose room.

·         Family/Friends – Ask your family and friends to collect for you too.  Many people save them but don’t have a place to give them to.  Ask them to donate them to St. Cecilia’s!

Questions?  Please contact Brenda Neppel at 663-9742 or Diana Thatcher at 292-9511.  Thank you for collecting!  Every little bit adds up to big things for St. Cecilia School!
