Fundraising: It all adds up!

Clip and save your BoxTops or Labels for Education, keep your Kemps or Land O Lakes Milk Caps, and Swipe your Target RedCard. Although these three things seem simple and easy, they also can raise funds for our school. We can use the money for things like field trips, special classroom supplies, and other "extras" that school budgets can't fund.

In fact, together, these programs bring the school hundreds -- sometimes thousands -- of dollars each year. Remember to ask your friends, relatives and neighbors to save things too. It's a simple way to help that goes a long way.

BoxTops for Education

What to Do: Clip Box Tops coupons from hundreds of products found at your local grocery store. Each coupon is worth 10 cents when we redeem them from General Mills.

Where to Find:Pop Secret popcorn, Bugels, Chex Mix, Gardettos snacks, Cheerios, Wheaties, Chex, Total, Kix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms, Yoplait Go-Gurt, Pillsbury Rolls, Betty Crocker cake mixes and frosting, Bisquick, Progresso Soup, Old El Paso products, Gold Medal flour and many more! Go to www.boxtops4education.com to see a complete list of participating products.

Campbell's Labels for Education

The Labels for Education program is a great way to get FREE merchandise for our school, and Campbell's makes it so easy to redeem labels. Participating in the program is easy - simply save the UPC labels from Campbell's and other participating products and send them to school!

Twist Your Milk Cap and Give a Nickle

Help us earn funds -- 5 cents at a time -- by saving caps from Land O' Lakes and Kemps milk product containers. Buy your favorite Kemps or Land O' Lakes milk products, collect the specially marked caps or proof-of-purchase symbols, and bring them to school. This helps us earn money for the things your school needs. Each stickered milk cap or proof-of-purchase symbol is worth 5¢, which Isanti Intermediate School can turn into computers, books, art supplies - you name it!

Other Items that can be Donated for Fundraising

Isanti Intermediate also participates in fundraising through a recycling program. Please send empty inkjet and laser printer cartridges and used cell phones with your student or drop them off the next time you are in the building in the designated area in the main office.

Target Take Charge of Education

Here's a terrific way to raise funds for Isanti Intermediate School! All you have to do is use your Target Visa or Target Card. Target generously donates 1 percent of your Target Visa or Target Card purchases to the school of your choice -- ISANTI INTERMEDIATE -- in the form of a cash donation through the Take Charge of Education program. Target tracks purchases charged to participating accounts and sends a check to us in March and September.

Sign me up!

Signing up is easy. Just visit target.com/tcoe, or call 1-800-316-6142 to designate Isanti Intermediate as the school to receive a percentage of your purchases.

To date, Isanti Intermediate has earned over $3,000 through this program -- that's not small change!

Currently, 35 people have designated Isanti Intermediate as their school of choice in the Take Charge of Education program. Let's raise that number to 100! Please encourage grandparents, neighbors and friends to take part, too!

If you ever shop at Target, please consider using your Target Visa or Target Card. A big thanks to those who are already doing their part to make our great school even better.
