Fundraising
Ornament Fundraiser - The CSA-Lincoln Christmas Ornament Fundraiser had no updates or estimated date of arrival for the product. It appears as if this one might have to wait until next year.
Labels for Education - Throughout the years, many Labels for Education (found on Campbell's Soups, Goldfish Crackers, etc) have been turned into the PTO along with Box Tops. PTO was not promoting the Labels for Education program because the points could only be used toward purchasing merchandise from their catalog and instead opted to focus on the Box Tops program which returns cash that can go towards any needs the PTO/School has. Our previous Box Top Coordinator had the foresight to open a Labels for Education account and submitted these labels even though the school wasn't officially running that program and boy has it paid off! This year we started with 14,000+ points and the Labels for Education program added prepaid Visa cards to their list of items that can be redeemed for points. We decided to start promoting that we accept Labels for Education in order to increase the amount we are already receiving.
