 Fundraising and such

Box Tops for Education
Box Tops for Education has helped America's schools earn over $175 million in just over 10 years. Tower earned over $3,000.00 for school year 2008/2009. We challenge you to beat our record from last year! Earn cash for your school through everyday activities: buying groceries, shopping online and making purchases with a credit card. All at no additional cost to you!
All you have to do is simply clip Box Tops from hundreds of participating brands (please cut along the edges to make it easier for our coordinator) and turn them into your child's teacher.
Go here for more information on Box Tops for Education.
Campbell's Brand UPC's
For more than 30 years, Labels for Education™ has been awarding free educational equipment to schools in exchange for proofs of purchase from the Campbell family of brands. It’s a fun, easy program where students, families and members of the community work together for a common goal. Since we have started the program, Tower families have collected over 26,000 labels.
Last year, 07/08, we redeemed labels and our school received: 2 automatic staplers for the copyroom and this year for our new ball toss, three sets of six balls and three mess bags for them.
Please click here to learn more about participating brands and how to clip your labels.
