 School earns prizes under "Tools for Schools"

Thanks to everyone who supported our school through Price Chopper's "Tools for Schools" program. Our 126,033 total tape value points placed us as one of the top 100 schools and earned us a Shredmaster shredder. In addition, we redeemed those points through the award catalog to get:

• an alto sax for the music department

• a DVD player for the elementary library

Box Tops for Education

General Mills pays Canajoharie Central Schools 10 cents for box tops from a wide variety of its products under its "Box Tops for Education" program. All you need to do is to clip the box top from cereals (like Cheerios and Total) or baking mixes (like Pillsbury and Betty Crocker) or even storage and trash supplies (like Hefty and ZipLoc). Click here to download a complete list of 200 eligible products (in pdf format).

Stop and think how many dimes you might be throwing away every day—dimes that help pay for books, supplies and special programs for our students. Just clip those box tops and send them to school with your child or grandchild. Don't have a child in school? Just send the box tops to Mary Monk, Canajoharie Esst Hill School, 25 School District Rd., Canajoharie, NY 13317
