September 2020 Newsletter

The CES PTO is excited to be back - even if it is virtually.




Our first PTO meeting of the year will be held on 

Wednesday, September 16 at 6:15 pm.


This year’s Fishing Derby will take place on Sunday, October 4th.

Catch fish like you always have, but the derby will be virtual this year. 





The Community Fair will not take place on its normal September date. We are looking at other options for ways to safely raise funds to support our programs. 


Yearbooks

Yearbooks have not yet arrived from Lifetouch. When they come in, we will provide information about pick up times. 



Price Chopper Tools for Schools: Register your Price Chopper AdvantEdge card and

earn points that are redeemed for products used in our gym, art room, music room, and library. You can register your AdvantEdge card for CES (using our School Code of  15721) at www.pricechopper.com. Once you register, when you shop at Price Chopper and use your Price Chopper AdvantEdge Card, CES will automatically receive credit towards free educational equipment. This costs nothing and does not interfere with credits you are earning for any other shopping promotion at Price Chopper.


Instead of clipping, checking expirations dates and the coordinator bundling and submitting them, all Box Tops will be earned digitally via receipt scanYou’ll now download the Box Tops app, register and select CES for your school, and then scan an eligible receipt containing Box Tops products.  We’ll continue to earn 10 cents for each Box Tops product purchased plus extra earnings for any Bonus Box Tops opportunities.  The app will automatically add Box Tops to our school’s earnings online and you will have access to how you are supporting our school in real-time.


You’ll see some participating brands begin to change their packaging from a physical Box Tops clip to the new Box Tops icon (pictured above).  With thousands of products and hundreds of brands, this will take some time, but that will be the eventual direction of the program.  Box Tops will continue to honor all physical clips until they reach their expiration dates, so keep clipping and sending in any physical Box Tops that you come across


Box Tops for Education has been a very successful program at CES over the years. We hope everyone will embrace these changes and help CES earn even more money for our students and school. Simply scan your grocery receipt and your Digital Box Tops will be automatically “clipped” for you! Thank you 

for you support!
