How Can I Help Coventry Grammar School ?

There are several ways you can help CGS that you might not already know about.  Please read the following to see how simply you can make a difference.

• Labels For Education- The Labels For Education  program awards free educational equipment to schools in exchange for proofs of purchase from Campbells brands.  All you need to do is clip and save UPC codes or lids on participating Labels For Education brand products.  Eligible brands include Campbells, Franco American, Pepperidge Farm, Swanson, V-8 beverages, and Prego Pasta Sauce. 

Please Note: Labels For Education no longer accepts the front panel of the red and white label from Campbells soups, but now accepts the UPC code on these cans instead.

In the past, CGS has earned free computer software, tape recorders and other small equipment, and playground and P.E. equipment through this program.

For more information on qualifying products, visit the website: labelsforeducation.com .

• Box Tops For Education- By clipping box tops from participating General Mills products, you can help earn cash for the school.  Look for the “10 cent” box tops coupon on participating cereals, refrigerated dairy products, meals and sides, frozen foods, snacks, baking products, storage containers and wraps, paper products, disposable tableware, and garbage bags.

Please Note: Each box top has a small expiration date printed on it.  Please be sure to clip the date portion of the coupon; otherwise the box top cannot be redeemed.

According to Mrs. Christie, this program generates $800.-$1,000. per year.  These funds are mainly used to buy books and to replace worn book collections in the library.  A digital camera was also purchased a couple of years ago.
