Fund
Raisers
1.
Collect General Mills' "Box
Tops for Education" logos. These
logos are worth 10 cents each and can be redeemed through our school for up to
$10,000 annually. Every logo helps, many
Box Tops products are available at your local grocery store, including favorite
products like: Cheerios, Fruit Roll-Ups, Betty Crocker desserts, Hamburger
Helpers, and Yoplait Multipack yogurts, to name just a few.
2.
If you use a Target Charge
Card when making purchases at Target, they will return a portion of the
purchase price to the school of your choice (hopefully Lincoln Trail).
3. Recycle your old cell phones – The resource
center will receive money for each donated phone, in addition, the recycling
company will donate the usable phone to spouse abuse centers.
The funds from these
programs help fund things like-First Connections, the Parent lending library,
programs for new and expectant parents, summer programs, and special counseling
needs. Just think, if each child in our school brings in 2 boxtops
per month, we will have $1080.00 to help make our school a better place!
