Important Information:

• The next Angelo’s Night is January 25^th so mark your calendars.  Money raised will support our “Center of the Arts” program.

•We are always looking for special gifts to assist with the education of our children.  If you are gifted financially and wish to sponsor a student in our school, please contact Mr. Lehrke or set up an appointment to find out how you can assist.  It costs over $5100 for one child to be educated at St. Paul, however, a gift of $3000 would pay for an entire tuition, $250 would pay for one month, or a even a gift of $20 would help cover one day.  All gifts are tax deductible.  “Suffer the little children unto me and forget them not.”

E-Labels for Education Program for St. Paul Lutheran School:

If you are saving the UPC labels from Campbell's and participating products, please continue to save them and turn them into the school.  These points add up for great products for our teachers and their classrooms. 

Another easy way to earn points for St. Paul school is to sign up with E-Labels at: www.elabelsforeducation.com.  This website allows you to get points credited to our school account just by shopping for the Campbells and participating products.

When you purchase those designated items and they are scanned at the register, our school automatically gets points deposited into our account.
Easy enough - right? 

Here is how you sign up to get those additional points for St. Paul school:
1.  Go to:  www.elabelsforeducation.com
2.  Register your information where prompted.
3.  Select the store(s) where you frequently shop and type in your shoppers
card number.
4.  Choose St. Paul Lutheran School in Westlake, OH  44145 as the school you
wish to designate your points to.  NOTE:  make certain that you go by zip
code since there are numerous St. Paul schools in our state.
5.  Encourage other family members and friends - even those out of state -
to sign up and choose St. Paul-Westlake for their chosen school to get
points.
6.  You will receive a verification e-mail that you are signed up.
7.  Start shopping!!
8.  Still send in the UPC codes from the labels as well since we will be
sending in those to get those points into our account, too!

If you have questions or need assistance, there is a toll-free 800 number on the e-labels website for a customer service rep to help you.

Let me know if you have any questions about Campbells or Box Tops!  These are easy ways for St. Paul school to earn extra cash. 

On a separate note, I am collecting the Tyson 1-2-3 box flaps from the Tyson products.  Although the amount is minimal, it can still add up for some extra cash for our school!  You can include these with your UPCs and Box Tops.

The drop-off areas are still in the narthex hallway in the traditional church and there is a box in the hallway just outside of where the TRIP table area.

Thank you so much for your continued support of St. Paul school!  I encourage everyone (if you haven't already) to go to the
www.labelsforeducation.com website and www.boxtops4education.com website and
register as a user to get helpful information, newsletters and coupons.
