CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS FOR EDUCATION - Ongoing
The Labels for Education program is a great way to get FREE merchandise for our school and it’s even better this year. With your help, Glyndon Elementary can make this year the best ever! Participating in the program is easy. Simply save the UPCs and beverage caps from participating L for E products (see the list of eligible products) and send them to our school. A collection box is located outside of the office. Please write your child’s name, grade, and homeroom teacher’s name on the UPC or cap.

If you have any questions, please contact Melissa McCarthy at GlyndonLabels@aol.com.  You can also visit www.labelsforeducation.com for more information. ________________________________________________________________________

RECYCLE FOR EDUCATION - Ongoing
Turn Trash into Cash! This program is designed to collect empty ink and toner cartridges from your home or office printers. Instead of discarding plastic cartridges in the trash which will eventually end up in our landfills, we encourage recycling them. Glyndon Elementary will receive $3.00 per cartridge.

Just send the cartridge in with your child, and have them drop it in the collection box located in the office. It’s that easy! You’ll be helping our school and the environment at the same time! 

For questions call Samantha Schaefer at 410-526-2766 or email her at SamanthaSchaefer@comcast.net.

Fundraisers are another way to support Glyndon Elementary. We do not advocate children selling door-to-door; rather, what makes our fundraisers successful is when parents and students work together to reach their family’s existing network. Emails to the people in your address book are a fantastic way to get support for your student’s sales efforts. Order forms and catalogs are available online, so even distant relatives and friends can participate. Parents who work are encouraged to take order forms and catalogs to the office.

This year, we will be selling Innisbrook products in the fall—quality wrapping paper and gifts that will get you through the holiday season with ease! In the spring, we will be offering Joe Corbi products. These popular and easy kits for pizzas, calzones, pretzels, cookies, and more are just right for the hectic spring schedule!

The proceeds from our fundraisers support enrichment for all students, through events such as class field trips, cultural assemblies, and community social events. These programs would not be possible without your help and participation!
