Box Tops/Labels for Education/ Spartan/ Tyson

The labels for education program is a great way for the school to make money from our trash.  In a way if you throw these labels away, it's like throwing a pop can away.  The school can earn 10 cents from each label you send in.  At McBain your child has two opportunities to win some prizes: before Christmas and before the end of the school year.  Last year it was gift certificates to Meijer.  The top class gets a pizza party and 10,000 points to spend to get cool things for the classroom.  My class has come in second place so many times.  It is almost frustrating.  Last year we were 300 labels short.  The next day a student brought in a bunch of labels.  I don't think it was enough but who knows.  This year I'm campaigning... Meijer has a deal were you buy 5 box top items and they give you a coupon worth 200 labels.  What a deal!!!  So if you shop at Meijer buy a couple of extra items and you could earn 200 extra labels.
