*Garbage 2 Gold 4 Gilbert*
At S J Gilbert School in Augusta, Maine... WE SAVE GARBAGE! Yes, garbage! Or at least what most people consider garbage...and we’re saving it at Gilbert. Old inkjet cartridges, soup label UPCs, old cell phones, Hood Sox Tops milk bottle caps, Box Tops coupons & much more. Collect the ‘garbage’ items listed in the information about all our fundraisers and send it to Gilbert with your child or mail it to our school. And we’ll turn "Garbage 2 Gold 4 Gilbert" with our fundraising projects. Below is a list of the programs we are working with to earn money for our school, which helps support many of Gilbert’s needs: computer, office & classroom supplies, books, balls & more. Please read through each program, save and send us what you can. Then see what we can do with your ‘garbage’! Thank you for taking time to support Gilbert Elementary School. You can email me through the email contact box in the bottom rigth corner of this page.
Box Tops 4 Education is our biggest & most fun ‘garbage collecting’ fundraiser! There are a number of ways to help Gilbert earn money with the Box Tops 4 Education Program:
1. Clipping the Box Tops Coupons. With the Homeroom Pizza Party Contest as incentive, and many small prizes through out the year, the students really embrace this one! We provid Collection Sheets for the students to glue the Box Tops to. There is a new one each month or so. While it is not necessary to use the collection sheets...if they are used, every child turning one in will get a small ‘thank you’ prize. The sheets help immensely when it comes time to organize & submit the Box Tops to General Mills for payment.
To download & print Collection Sheets, use this link:

2. Join the Box Tops for Education Booster Club. All you have to do is go online to www.boxtops4education.com and register, designating Sylvio J Gilbert Elementary School as your beneficiary. By registering, you’ll not only receive information on Box Tops contests & bonus opportunities, but you’ll get access to money-saving coupons, easy mealtime solutions, samples of free products & more. It’s absolutely free & you’ll help Gilbert qualify for Bonus Box Tops. These Box Tops points are automatically credited to our school when you register.
3. Shop through the Box Tops Marketplace. The Box Tops 4 Education Program has a Marketplace. Logging on to their website www.boxtops4education.com and doing your online shopping through their portal garners rebates for Gilbert. You can earn 4% to 25% rebates from your purchases for Gilbert. Consistently throughout the years Box Tops has had the highest rebate rate of any rebate program. Take Oriental Trading for example. Many of you buy classroom & party-favors there. So, when placing your Oriental Trading order, log onto Box Tops first & click on the Marketplace tab at the top of the page. Then click any online store & do your shopping for Gilbert.
4. Order Books for your children through the new Reading Room online at the Box Tops website. Every book you order earns about 8% of the sale price and is automatically credited to Gilbert’s account. So ordering books through Box Tops Reading Room site not only encourages your child to read, but will help earn funds for Gilbert as well.
Please note: Though Box Tops still lists the use of a ‘Box Tops Visa Credit Card’ as a way to earn funds for our school, it has in fact been discontinued.
The last and most important point with Box Tops is to always check the expiration date. We do not get credit for expired Box Tops.

http://www.labelsforeducation.com
For this fundraiser we earn points toward the purchase of various products from Campbell’s School Supply Catalogue.

Check out the “Eligible Products” list found at: http://www.campbellshop.com/welcome
We will provide collection sheets to your child to bring home for you to glue or tape the UPCs to...or you can download & print them yourself, just follow these 2 links:
1 Point UPC Sheet: http://www.labelsforeducation.com/pdf/upccollectionsheet_1pt.pdf
5 Point UPC Sheet: http://www.labelsforeducation.com/pdf/upccollectionsheet_5pt.pdf
Remember you no longer need to clip the entire label. Just clip the UPC code itself from the back of the label.
Campbell’s often has Sweepstakes & Contests where you can help Gilbert earn extra points toward future product purchases.
