HOW YOU CAN HELP US!
Seton Academy is raising money again this year for purchases made to benefit our school and children. Click on the logos below to view the official websites.
You can help by participating in the Campbell's Labels for Education™ Program. It’s easy! Campbell's Labels for Education™ program is an easy, fun way to help schools in your neighborhood get free educational merchandise, including computers, sports/fitness equipment and musical instruments.
We also participate in the General Mills Box Tops for Education Program. It’s easy! Here’s how it works: Simply clip and save Box Top logos from over 330 participating General Mills products and send them to school with your children. Participating products include: General Mills, Big G Cereals, all Betty Crocker products including Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, Yoplait Multi-Packs, Yoplait Go-GURT and Exprèsse, Lloyd’s Barbeque products and many others. Our school gets 10 cents for each Box Top we collect!
Our 8th graders are collecting soda can flip tabs. These tabs are collected and sent to the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia. This house helps families who have children in the hospital and need a place to stay. The flip tabs are made of pure aluminum and are easier to recycle.
We are fortunate to have found a company that will purchase empty inkjet & laser printer cartridges from us and we will be promoting this as a fundraiser for this school year.
Please bring all HP, Lexmark & Canon Inkjet and Laser cartridges (In a Ziploc Bag) to the school. New cartridges will be accepted as well.
This program is a safe, simple, quick and easy way of raising money for our school. Empty inkjet and laser cartridges can be collected from printers at home. Parents are also encouraged to collect cartridges from their places of employment and from their co-workers or neighbors. Cartridges should then be brought in to the school and placed at the collection site or handed in to the front office.
This program is based on the premise that we can earn money for our school and help recycle at the same time. This also gives us the opportunity to take part in protecting our earth by cutting down on the amount of trash in landfills.
We will collect these cartridges throughout the entire school year. When the empty cartridges are brought to school, it is recommended that they be put in a ziploc bag or cellophane wrap to prevent any possible leakage on hands, clothing, backpacks, etc.
With your assistance this is going to be an extremely profitable way to raise money for our school and enhance the education of our students.
