October 29, 2014 Dear Parents, Students, and Friends of Miriam: My name is Suzanne Bauer, and my mother, Jeanne, and I are the volunteer coordinators for BOX TOPS

FOR EDUCATION and the CAMPBELL’S LABELS FOR EDUCATION programs. Many of you have already participated throughout your years at Miriam, however, there are many new families who might be unfamiliar with the programs. There are several ways in which to earn cash for our school through daily activities like shopping for groceries, shopping online, etc. 

Clipping Box Tops and Labels from products we all use such as Campbells soups, Progresso, Pepperidge Farm, Green Giant. A complete list of all the participating products can be found at www.boxtopsforeducation.com and www.labelsforeducation.com



Shop Online at stores like JC Penney, Land’s End, and many more (over 60 different stores). Miriam School earns cash from every qualifying purchase, up to $20,000.



Box Tops for Education VISA Card will give us 1% cash back on every purchase up to $20,000. You get a 0% introductory APR with no annual fee. To apply, visit the Box Tops website or call 1800-650-0235.



Box tops and labels provide us with the means to purchase much needed items for the classrooms as well as playground equipment, books for the library, and many other items for use throughout the school. We have over 10,000 labels in our bank now, and several hundred dollars worth of box tops. Let’s try to double or even triple that amount.

As the school year progresses, we realize there are so many things we must do and must remember in just our everyday business, but we sincerely hope you can remember Box Tops and Labels too! Make it a game to have your children look for the symbols before you throw the package away. With the holidays fast approaching, the opportunity to collect boxtops and labels is right in front of us. There are collection boxes in the office for your convenience. Let’s make a difference for our school with Box Tops and Labels. Thank you. Sincerely,

Suzanne & Jeanne Bauer

Miriam Families, 

October 2014 

  With the recent weather changes, our Lost and Found   cabinet has become inundated with items, especially   clothing, lightweight coats, hoodies and sweaters.  We   have adult as well as student items.    There is a table just inside the school entrance where we  have placed these items. Please come and take a look to  see if  we could have something you have been missing!      

LOST & FOUND WILL BE OUT ON                   THURSDAY AND FRIDAY!
