March 18, 2008

Over the past seven years Prairie Catholic Schools have been collecting Labels of Education. What are these labels, for those of you who don’t know? They are the little bright pink 10 cent labels you find on more than 250 products you use in your home every day.

As the coordinator for this program I would like everyone to know how each person can make a difference just by saving and turning these little labels into either school office. Prairie Catholic has received over $5,000 in free money over the past seven years. The labels are collected, trimmed, if not already done so and separated into little ziploc bags of 50 count labels and submitted once a year.

This year we received over 10,000 labels and the schools should be receiving a check for $1,066.00. This is such a simple way to raise free money for Prairie Catholic Schools.

Please click on Box tops for Education and you will find a copy of all the products that display this little 10 cent label. Please hang it on your refrigerator for easy access and continue saving these labels and help earn free money for our children's education at Prairie Catholic.

Parishioners not having children at either school can always drop them off at my home, 328 North Beaumont or either school office.

A special thank you to Mildred Prew for all of the hours she helps clipping and sorting these labels with me all year round.

Thank you to all the people who have been saving and trimming these labels over the years. I hope we can continue to see the reimbursement checks get bigger each year.

MANY THANKS FOR SUPPORTING PRAIRIE CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

Kwik Trip - Milk Moola Tops

Milk Moola is a program whereby we receive cash for every cap and bag top we collect from Kwik Trip products such as milk, orange juice, bottled water and Kwik Trip’s line of sports drinks and fruit drinks.  We will receive 5¢ for each cap and bag top we collect and turn in.  And unlike other programs, Milk Moola has no cash limits, so the potential for this program is unlimited.  But we need your help to make it successful!

The biggest thing you can do to help is to purchase those Kwik Trip products and save the caps and encourage friends, co-workers, and family members to do the same.  Start saving them at home, at work, anywhere you enjoy Kwik Trip beverages.  Simply drop-off or send to Prairie Catholic your caps and bag tops anytime and we can start benefiting from the cash right away.

If you would like to learn more about Milk Moola, you can visit the Milk Moola website at www.milkmoola.com.  There you will find the latest information about the program, frequently asked questions and the official rules and guidelines for Milk Moola.

So the next time you are in Kwik Trip and reach for something to drink, don't forget to save those caps! 

Old Cell Phones

According to statistics, the average American upgrades their cell phone about once every 18 months and that there are two to three unused cell phone lying dormant in most homes. These statistics can equal big profits for churches by implementing the cell phone recycling fundraising program. Just about everyone has an older model cell phone that they no longer use that is collecting dust in a drawer. By donating these old cell phones, individuals can help their school raise money while putting that old phone to good use. Bring your old phone to Prairie Catholic! At Prairie Catholic, we ship these old cell phones to an organization called Funding Factory. Visit this company at www.fundingfactory.com. We get "points" for each cell phone and the Funding Factory "banks" them for us. We can then purchase certain things from their catalog for our school!

Used/Empty Printer Cartridges

Bring your old print cartridges to Prairie Catholic! Prairie Catholic takes these old cartridges to a company called Laser Products out of Holmen, WI. Visit this company (Laser Products) at www.lptnow.com. When you bring these in they are taken directly to this company and we receive cash which goes to help out our school! Thank you to all who help us in this way!
