within their jurisdiction based

this award.
An Emergency Education
Grant is designed to help Elk
children who face a difficult
road ahead. This program
reaches out to children from
families where an Elk parent
is deceased or totally disabled. The grant is for educational assistance only and is
not intended to cover the
entire cost of a college education. The student must be
attending a U.S. college or
university, be an undergraduate student, unmarried and

desired and may be obtained

Scholarship office by calling
773-755-4732 or on line at
[email protected].
Collect labels
and milk caps
for education
Campbell’s Soup labels,
Box Tops for Education are
more valuable than you think!
These and other labels and
product UPCs are collected by
area schools to be redeemed
for education equipment and
the entire community can
help.
These items can be
dropped off at Cuyuna Range
Elementary School or the
Crosby-Ironton Courier. In
addition, a full list of products
eligible for the program is
available at the school office.

Hepatitis A shots, 3 Hepatitis

Earn cash from Gold’n
Plump for C-I schools
All Crosby area schools
and Super One are working
together to earn donations
from the Gold'n Plump®
brand of deli rotisserie chicken. Gold'n Plump rotisserie
chicken has joined other consumer brands to help schools
pay for enrichment activities
like arts, technology, athletics
and other extras.
School label redemption
programs give back more
than $90 million to 70,000
cash-strapped schools every
year. Until now, all of these
require someone to trim, sort
and count the physical box
tops, soup labels and milk
caps and ship them back to
the manufacturer to be tallied.
This time-consuming chore
invariably falls to parent volunteers.
Minnesota-based Gold'n
Plump is the first poultry
provider to join a program,
and it is the first to work with
the Labels 2 Learn website to
redeem its donations online.
"We are very sympathetic
to the busy mom, especially
during the school year," said
Rory Bidinger, brand advocacy and marketing manager for
Gold'n Plump. "We think
this is an excellent way to
express our brand's commitment to healthy families,
thank our current customers
for their loyalty, and attract
new customers."
"The rotisserie chicken is
an excellent solution to what
we call the 'dinner crunch' ...
that frenzy between afterschool activities and aftersupper
activities
when
mom—or dad—has to get
supper on the table," he said.
Bidinger says he and his wife,
who have young children
themselves, know first-hand
about the challenges facing
the family schedule. "We
want a supper solution that's
convenient, hot, healthy and a
great value. A deli rotisserie
chicken is perfect - and now
our customers can help us
send money to their kids'
schools, too."
The Cash Code printed on
specially marked sleeves can
be redeemed online for twenty
cents. "Anyone can do it for
any school," Bidinger said.
"No registration is required,
and it just takes a few seconds
to make a difference. Those
20-cents add up quickly."
Redeem Cash Code at
www.labels2learn.com
More than $800,000 in
donations to schools is available, and the promotion runs
throughout the school year.
"Most schools must plead
for extra cash," says Brad
Thompson, president of
Minneapolis-based Labels2
Learn, "because virtually all
of their budget is earmarked
for mandated programs, personnel and facility maintenance.
Twenty percent of
all schools hold six or more
fund-raising events per year,
and most of the rest are holding three or four - that's
exhausting for everyone."
Thompson foresees a
future where most brands use
an online platform to reward
and build loyalty for proof-ofpurchase because "it is an
excellent use of the marketing
budget. This breaks through
the noisy media clutter and
engages mom through a cause
she cares passionately about."

many ways, they must follow
the same school policies as
minors and have parent permission and sign out of the
office before leaving school.
