Magazine Drive

Chairperson: Karen Domitrz

This Home and School fundraiser is its largest and sets the tone for the entire H&S budget. During a three-week drive in September, the students participate in selling magazine subscriptions, books, CDs and software. They earn prizes for themselves and for the school. Average annual earnings for Home and School are $25,000! One of the best aspects about the Magazine Drive, though, is that one may order magazine subscriptions all year-round. (H&S will earn 40% of the gross price.)

How does one order? Either by calling the school office at 414-425-3100 or ordering with a credit card online by clicking on the banner above. Remember: Magazine subscriptions make GREAT gifts for any occasion.

Entertainment® Books

This Home and School fundraiser raises $1,500 to $2,000 per year. Entertainment coupon books are a great value for those who buy them. They provide hundreds of 2-for-1 and 50%-off discounts which add up to hundreds of dollars in savings on dining out, fast food, movies, sporting events, shopping, services, entertainment, travel, and much more.

New savings are available throughout the year at www.entertainment.com. Just log on to the Entertainment website to register your book for added savings opportunities or buy any out-of-town book using our school's account # 149182. Home and School will receive a portion of the profit for each book sold.

Tyson Project A+

We have an exciting opportunity to raise more money for our school this year. We are taking part in a national fund-raising program sponsored by Tyson Foods. It's called Tyson Project A+. As a participating Project A+ school, we can raise money for books, computers, and improvements to the building. All we have to do to participate is clip and save Project A+ redemption labels from Tyson products that feature the Project A+ logo. Each label we collect is worth 24 cents for our school!

Please help us out! Ask your friends, neighbors, and family to help. Please clip and save Tyson Project A+ redemption labels from various frozen Tyson products. Just drop your redemption labels in the Campbell's soup label bins. Once we collect a minimum of 50 labels, we'll submit them to Tyson Foods. Check out the Tyson Project A+ web site.

Campbell's Labels for Education

Over the past 30 years, Campbell's Labels for Education program has delivered over $100 million in free merchandise to schools nationwide. St. Mary Parish School is asking parents, teachers, and friends in the community to help us earn educational equipment this year simply by saving the labels from any of the hundreds of varieties of Campbell products and sending them to school with your child. Some of the products eligible for redemption in the program include:

• Campbell's® Soups
• Campbell's® Supper Bakes Meal Kits
• Franco-American® SpaghettiOs pasta
• Prego® pasta sauces
• Swanson® broths and canned poultry
• Pace® salsa and picante sauces
• V8® and V8 Splash® juices
• Campbell's® tomato juice
• Pepperidge Farm® breads, cookies, crackers, and frozen products
• Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers
• Campbell's® Food Service products

The program is a great way to earn FREE merchandise for our school, but we need your help. Please drop off the labels in the Box Top/Labels bins, located in the school office lobby and the entrance hall of the church.

Sentry Foods Funds for Friends

St. Mary's participates in the Sentry Foods Funds For Friends Program. This simple program, sponsored by St. Mary's Home and School Association, yields a 1% profit for our school - which can add up to quite a bit when you consider how much we all spend on groceries each week!

It's as easy as A-B-C:
A - Shop at one of the three Sentry stores listed below
B - Ask for a Funds For Friends Sticker on your register tape
C - Turn in your register tape to the school office, parish office or box in narthex

Only validated (stickered) tapes will be accepted for the 1% refund.
