14 schools june19 2014 VES No Longer Collecting Frito Chip Bags The Snack Bag Brigade depends on funding from school partners and due to a limited budget they had to decrease the size of the program. Vernonia Elementary School was informed that their location was randomly selected to not be able to participate in the Snack Bag Brigade at this time. As soon as additional sponsors for the program are found, they can hopefully reinstate our location. We are still collecting the following: • Box Tops Labels • Campbell Soup Labels (UPC part) • Cell Phones & Ink Cartridges • Flav-R-Pac & Santiam Labels (UPC part) • Capri Sun Drink Pouches • Elmer Glue (glue sticks/bottles) • Writing Instruments (Paper Mate, Sharpie, & Expo) dry erase pens • Colgate (toothbrushes, empty toothpaste tubes, packaging) • Scotch Tape (dispensers & cores) has to be the brand Scotch Please collect over the summer and turn them into Mr. Spaulding at VES. (You can also turn in materials to the main school office and it will get to him.) Thanks for the support of the P.E. program and helping to purchase a new playground structure at our new school. Thanks for your time. Take care and have a wonderful summer.
