Year round, the MES community participates in the following commercial fundraising programs, which allow everyone to pitch in!
Since 2001, MES has raised over $22,000 just by clipping those little pink Box Tops from the packaging on products we are already using (General Mills, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker and Ziploc, just to name a few)! Each Box Top earns MES $.10 and that really adds up when you have so many great collectors, like we have at MES!Community Cash for Schools
Please take the time to visit www.boxtops4education.com and register. Once you do, you'll receive emails about box tops sweepstakes, be notified when certain products are offering bonus box tops on their packaging and when area stores will be running bonus box tops offers. Plus, you can track MES's earnings progress versus other schools. This is an easy and free way to earn for MES!
Box tops can be taped to this page (no more than 10 per page please), labeled with your student's name, grade level and teacher and sent to school in his or her folder.
Watch for special contests and prizes to the students who collect the most!

Each UPC label from Community Coffee products earns MES a greater share of a generous educational fund set up by Community Coffee. Don't forget to ask friends or family who have CC's coffee delivered to their businesses to save the UPCs from the commercial packaging as well - those are worth even more!
Labels can be affixed to this page (no more than 10 per page please), labeled with your student's name, grade level and teacher and sent to school in his or her folder.

Recycling
Old cell phones, printer (toner) and ink cartridges are all great fundraising sources for MES. Just send them to school labeled with your student's name, grade and teacher.
Newspapers
We'll take them! MES has a blue recycling container at the back of the school (just past car line drop off) in which you can deposit your old newspapers any time.
