Fundraisers
Market Day
Market Day
is our primary fund-raiser for the school. It is a food service company
that provides restaurant quality foods from companies such as Tyson's, Kraft
and Campbell's. Families will have an opportunity to order food items
each month beginning in September. Our school earns a minimum of 10% of
your Market Day Purchase. This is an easy way for parents to support our
school and purchase quality food for their family!
Your family will receive a Market Day flyer each month. The due date for orders, and the date for pick-up, appear on the back of the flyer. You may also order on-line at www.marketday.com.
If you have questions, you may contact Sharleen Kutrumbis 240-793-4118 or Melissa Wells 301-829-1963 or email us at shar@mris.com or yogaprncss@aol.com
Our First market day is September 12th. Look for the order forms in your child’s folders Thursday, 8/30. We look forward to working with you this year!
Soup Labels and Box Tops
All year long, we collect Campbell Labels and General Mills Box Tops. The program is a great way to earn FREE educational equipment for our school. Box Tops are found on hundreds of General Mills products throughout the grocery store. You just clip them and turn them in at school. General Mills will send our school a check worth 10 cents for each Box Tops coupon redeemed!
Note that the Box Tops program is
doubling in size to include more brand names.
Some participating products include:

Campbell’s has made it easier for our schools to reach our collection goals with over 150 products now worth 5 points! Also, the new collection process makes it even easier to redeem merchandise. Visit labelsforeducation.com for complete list of products and point values. Participating in the program is easy — simply save proofs of purchase from participating Campbell products and send them to our school. Some of the products eligible for redemption in the program include:
- Campbell's® soups
- Campbell's™ or Franco-American® SpaghettiOs® pasta
- Campbell's® beans, gravies, and canned pasta
- Prego® pasta sauces
- Swanson® broths and canned poultry
- Campbell's® tomato juice

The following products are now worth 5 points!
- 26 varieties of condensed soup in specially marked cans
- All Campbell’s® Microwaveable Soups
- All Campbell’s® Supper Bakes® Meal Kits
- All V8 Splash® Beverages
- All Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers
As of June 2, 2006, Campbell’s is no longer accepting front panels of the labels. Instead, they are asking for the UPC codes on back of the labels. If you have any questions or if you would like to help please contact Kelly Magee, (410) 549-7514.
Please submit only the coupon itself, and try to cut as close to the dotted line as possible. By doing this it will make our jobs a lot easier!
Please start sending the Box Tops and Soup Labels as soon as school starts. You can send them with your child on any day during the week or month. The Labels and Box Tops will be stored in a special box in your child’s classroom. We will collect them once a month, count them and reward the class with the highest number.
Thank you very much for your support in making this AGAIN a great Box Top/Label year!
