No Cost Ways to Support PTA and the School:

• Save and bring in Box Tops for Education . We receive 10 ¢ for each box top. Products that have the labels include General Mills cereals and snacks, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Old El Paso, Totino’s and many others. Last year (2004-2005) Lakeridge received over $400 from our Box Tops Collection.

Save used ink jet cartridges toner cartridges, and old cell phones. PTA will get cash for them. Just drop them off at the school.

• Designate Lakeridge Elementary at Target, Office Depot, Safeway and anywhere else you hear of, and the school will get cash back. Last year we received several hundred dollars from programs like these.
