Thank you to all our great parents and students.  Our World's Finest Chocolate fundraiser was a great success.  We sold over $10,000 in chocolate of which 1/2 is our profit.  Yea!!!  The students will be choosing the silly stunt that Mr. Bertram will perform before the end of the year.  The three choices are kissing a pig, sleeping on the school roof or wearing rollerskates all day.  Thanks to Mr. B for being such a good sport and motivator!!

Next PTO meeting will be held in the Hedges Library on Thursday May 19 at 6:30.   There will be a musical performance on Tuesday the 17th.

Campbells Labels for Education

I want to post the link to the Campbell's website  At this website you can get information on eligible products, coupons, recipes and sign up for Elabels.  Once you have registered Hedges School as your school you can electronically collect 1 point for each participating Labels for Education product purchased using your shopper card at participating retailers.  You can still clip and redeem UPCs to earn the face value of the Labels for Education points, so it's easier than ever to earn more for our school.
Go to the box tops for education website for coupons, recipes, participating products and the marketplace.  If you shop online, marketplace is a great way to earn money for our school.  Simply register Hedges as your school of choice and then enter the online store that you plan to shop through the box tops website.  Hedges will receive ebox top points.
