Jane Ryan School PTA

“Give Back” Programs

 

A number of organizations “give back” to local schools through programs that are easy to use and require little effort on our part.  In fact, most are as easy as clipping a box top or mentioning Jane Ryan when purchasing or paying for items you need and use.  We have summarized some of the programs that the PTA hopes you will participate in so that Jane Ryan may benefit from these organizations.

 

Box Tops for Education

 

This program earns money for the Jane Ryan School simply through everyday activities: buying groceries, shopping online and making purchases with a credit card.

Clip Box Tops from your favorite brands

The original Box Tops program keeps getting better! As always, you can find the familiar 10¢ Box Tops coupon on hundreds of your family’s favorite products from General Mills®, Scott®, Pillsbury®, Ziploc®, Kleenex® and more.  Send your box tops in to Jane Ryan in an envelope marked “BOX TOPS” and drop into the box left in the main office.

Shop at your favorite online stores

Box Tops has partnered with dozens of popular online stores to help you earn even more cash for Jane Ryan. At the Box Tops Marketplace, you can shop at over 60 online stores including Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, JC Penney, Lands’ End and many more. Whenever you start your on-line shopping trip at the Marketplace, a portion of every qualifying purchase is automatically donated to our school!

For more information, a complete current list of participating brands and access to the Box Tops Marketplace, go to www.boxtops4education.com.  Also, Box Tops offers a Box Tops Visa card which gives 1% back to our school.

 

 

Campbell’s Labels for Education

 

For more than 30 years, Labels for Education™ has been awarding free educational equipment to schools in exchange for proofs of purchase from the Campbell family of brands. These include various products from Campbell’s®, Franco American®, Pepperidge Farm®, Swanson®, Market Day® and V8® beverages.  It’s a fun, easy program where students, families and members of the community work together for a common goal.  Clip and save Campbell’s UPC codes or lids all year long!  Send the UPC codes or lids in to Jane Ryan in an envelope marked “LABELS” and drop into the box left in the main lobby.

Costume Super Center

 

Earn money for Jane Ryan when you buy your costumes online! We have recently enrolled the Jane Ryan School with the Costume Super Center located in West Caldwell, New Jersey.  The Costume Super Center is a year-round source for infant, children teen and adult costumes; even pet and mascot costumes.   They offer fabulous high quality adult costumes, theatrical costumes, costumes for school performances, and mascots for schools and businesses.   They also carry a huge selection of costumes for all holidays including Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Purim, President's Day, Luau, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and of course, Halloween.  We have checked out the prices and they are very competitive.  They have all major themes/brands including Disney princess, Marvel super heroes, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. and they keep all sizes in stock.

If you place an order for $40 or more, you will receive a $5 discount and free shipping.  Free shipping applies to UPS Ground only.  Order costumes by 3 p.m. and your order will be shipped that day and should arrive at your home address the very next day!

And, now in connection with a Halloween Fundraiser, when you enter our code "RYAN" as in Jane "Ryan" when you are checking out, the school receives 15% of the purchase price!

Give out our school code "RYAN" to family and friends to multiply our fundraising!   Support the school and order your Halloween costumes and accessories online this year!

For more information or to place an order, please go to www.CostumeSuperCenter.com.

 

Printer Cartridges and Cell Phone Recycling

Through Ecophones, our school can earn between $3 to $5 for each empty ink jet printer cartridge (the ones that fit in the palm of your hand) and cell phone we recycle.  Please drop off your used printer cartridges and old cell phones in the drop box located in the front lobby.

Please note, we are no longer collecting the laser jet cartridges, as the reimbursement programs have been unreliable.

 

Target “Take Charge of Education”

Target offers a “Take Charge of Education” program, under which Target donates an amount equal to one percent (1%) of your Target Visa, Target Card or Target Business Card purchases at any Target store and Target.com, and one-half percent (1/2%) of your Target Visa purchases everywhere else you use your Target Visa.

Target will track purchases on charge cards linked to our school account and will distribute the accumulated donations to schools in March and September.  These monies can then be used by Jane Ryan for playground equipment, books, supplies or whatever the school needs. For more information, or to designate Jane Ryan as your school of choice, please go to www.target.com/tcoe.
