Support Our School

Please find below information about several on-going fundraisers that Montpelier is participating in. These fundraisers are a way to help our school just by doing your regular shopping, and purchasing products that you normally buy. We thank you for your support.

OUR FALL 2009 EDUMAT FUNDRAISER HAS BEGUN!
Our Edumat Fundraiser began on September 11^th.  Once again, we ask for you support in raising funds to purchase much needed classroom equipment and materials. Fundraising packets and permission forms have been sent home.   All monies are due by the morning of October 2, 2009.  Any student who participates will receive a “Free Uniform Day” (Date to be determined).  Thank you, in advance, for your support.

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION IS BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER
This year, General Mills continues to expand the Box Tops for Education program for the upcoming 2009-2010 school year. This is very exciting news for Montpelier. With the addition of many new products, Box Tops will be available on over 330 General Mills products--nearly tripling the number of participating products. This is a great opportunity for students, parents, grandparents and the whole community to come together for the good of Montpelier. Watch for those Box Tops logos, clip them off the box and send them to school. This year General Mills will have GOLD labels on some products. These labels are worth an extra 10 cents per label
As an added incentive to collect Box Tops, each week Mrs. Furlow will draw a name from students who have turned in Box Tops. The winner will get a certificate for a free ice cream in the school cafeteria.
Please save Box Tops for Education logos from General Mills products. You can check out the entire list at www.boxtops4education.com
