Boxtops for Education
General Mills sponsors the Box Tops for Education program. A variety of General Mills products have a Box Top for Education label on the box, that you can cut out and send into school or drop off in the collection basket at the back of the church. Additionally, internet purchases made to over 200 online stores equate to box top points for our school. Online stores include Office Depot, JC Penney and L.L. Bean. To shop, simply go to the Box Tops for Educations website at www.boxtops4education.com, register as a “Booster” for St. John Vianney School, and use the provided links for your purchases.

Each month, the box tops turned in are tallied by grade. At the end of the year, the class with the most box tops gets a pizza party.

Campbell Soup Labels
Labels for Education is sponsored by Campbell Soups. Simply collect Campbell soup labels from the products, and then send them into school or drop them off in the collection basket at the back of church. Each label will then provide points to our school which can then be used to purchase equipment for our Athletic Program. A complete list of Campbell products participating in the fundraiser can be found at the Labels for Education website .

Office Depot
Office Depot sponsors a program that gives 5% of certain purchases back to schools. Participation is easy. Every time you make a purchase at Office Depot, tell the cashier to credit the purchase to St. John Vianney School. Valid purchases are then attributed to our school and result in a check for the funds raised.

Recycling
The school raises funds through the recycling of used cell phones and printer cartridges. These items can be dropped off to the School Business Office. If you own a business or work at a corporate office, a collection box can be used and the recycling company will come to you to collect the recycled items.
