Taking Class Supply Lists from
Old School to Thats Cool
If you havent heard about this, please check it out. TeacherLists.com is a free website
that allows teachers & school staff to easily post and share school supply wish lists
with class parents instantly via their school website, email, Facebook, Twitter etc.
Simply put, its the easiest solution for streamlining all teacher lists at St. Mary School.
From pens & pencils to paper towels, teachers need it all; and as out-of-pocket
spending increases by our teachers, the long list of items needed to keep classrooms
running continues to grow. Once a teacher creates a list for their classroom, all lists
are saved so they can be easily updated any time throughout the school year.
The best thing about TeacherLists.com, is that parents can pledge to donate a desired
amount on a single item, various items or pledge a full amount on one or more items.
Teachers are instantly notified, and lists are automatically updated. You just have to
bring in the item once you have pledged it.
Learn more by going directly to our schools main page and click on the TeacherLists
logo. Search for your childs classroom, and if you would like to donate an item to their
specific wish list, register your email and follow the simple steps.
With TeacherLists.com, parents can now be assured that every item they buy now (and
all year long) meets the needs of their childs teacher.
Learn more at TeacherLists.com.
Finally, school supply lists for the 21
st
century

Can You Please Help?
The school office is looking for parent(s) volunteers that can help them with the Labels
for Education program.
Campbell Soups have been supporting schools nationwide for the past 38 years, and we
would like for them to continue to help St. Mary School.
Its simple & easy, and the best part is that our school could receive FREE educational,
athletic and/or art supplies just for clipping the Labels for Education tabs.
Remember, any volunteer time will go towards your required service hours for the school
year, and you can even assist from the comfort of your own home.
If you are interested in helping out, please contact Mrs. Heggie in the school office at
jheggie@catholicweb.com or stop by and visit her to discuss.

ST. MARY CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Dear Parents of St. Mary School:
Welcome back and we hope you and your family had an enjoyable & restful summer. The PTO would
like to remind you that Box Tops help our school out tremendously, and there are many ways to
accumulate them (shown below).
We would like to welcome Tonya Robinson as our chairperson for the Box Top program. Our fall
collection month will begin October 1-31, so continue to save those Box Tops and turn them into
your childs teacher during the month of October. Please continue to ask friends, grandparents,
relatives & neighbors to clip and collect Box Tops for St. Mary Catholic School. We earned over
$1,900.00 last school year, and would like to surpass that figure this year.
Here are some ways you can earn Box Top points for St. Mary Catholic School:
Clip:
Clip the Box Top from hundreds of participating products and send them to school in an envelope
marked PTO Box Tops or save up for our Fall/Spring program. Each top is worth $0.10 when the
school redeems them.
Marketplace:
Shop online at your favorite online stores through Box Tops Marketplace! (boxtops4education.com).
Up to 15% of your qualifying purchase total is automatically donated to our school, at no additional cost
to you. Plus, you will get exclusive Box Tops deals and discounts. Search for our school by entering
zip code 48173.
Click & Earn eBoxTops:
You can earn free eBoxTops by doing simple online activities like taking a survey or watching a video.
There is no purchase necessary, and each activity only takes only a few minutes.
Enter for chances to win eBoxTops:
Box Tops offers sweepstakes and other bonus offers all the time. You could give our school an earning
boost with thousands of eBoxTops. Entering is easy and there is no purchase necessary.
Please sign up to support our school at boxtops4education.com, where you can:

On behalf of the St. Mary Catholic School PTO, we thank you in advance for your continued
participation in our Box Top program. With your assistance, we can continue to provide many
fun filled activities for the students and staff of St. Mary School.
Sincerely St. Mary Catholic School PTO

ITS BACK!
SAVE YOUR CANS & BOTTLES and BRING THEM TO ST. MARY SCHOOL
The PTO bottle drive is in full swing and we appreciate your participation. Please bring
your cans & bottles (cans & bottles only please) that have been accumulating in your
garage and leave them at St. Mary School. We will be more than happy to take care of
them for you.
There is a large green container marked Bottle Drive in the back of the school, and all
proceeds will benefit Pennies for Playground - Restoration. This year we need to
replenish the mulch, and all proceeds will be used for that. Tell your family, friends and
even neighbors and spread the news. Our bottle drive will continue through the end of
the school year.
If you have any questions, please email PTO Secretary, Maureen Brinker, at
pomo157@comcast.net. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
