Box Tops

In our last meeting, we brought up collecting box tops. They're coupons worth ten cents each and are on packages of select common products (Betty Crocker, Ziploc, Kleenex, and almost every cereal brand).  Here's a list of all products affiliated with Box Tops For Education:

Because Thomas Jefferson High School isn't a school that receives benefits from Box Tops, our chapter will choose a school or charity that will receive all the Box Tops we collect throughout the year. On Tuesday, we'll vote on where the Box Tops will go. Here are the schools/organizations we will vote from:

Woodmere Elementary
Shirley Johnson/ Gretna Park Elementary
McDonogh No. 26 Elementary
Gretna Middle
Baptist Friendship House

The schools listed above are low performing schools that are connected in one way or another to Thomas Jefferson. On the other hand, the Baptist Friendship house is a transitional housing program for women with children. They provide hygienic products and food to the homeless and run programs for women in the Greater New Orleans community such as GED tutoring, computer skills, job readiness, etc.

If anyone would like to suggest another organization or school to put on the the list, please comment and explain why you would like to have that school/organization on the ballot. Suggestions are encouraged!
Our next meeting will be on the 13th.
