Ways to Help Oscar J. Pope
There are many ways that you can help Oscar J. Pope Elementary. We welcome your support!
First, you can donate your General Mills "Box Tops for Education" to the school. Each "box top" is worth ten cents. The donation receptacle is located in front of the administrative offices. We have just sent in another batch of "box tops", and we expect to receive around $500! This money will be used toward student incentives, snacks for Oscarbration, school beautification projects, and staff appreciation.
Second, you can donate your Campbell's Soup Labels. You may donate these in the same receptacle as the General Mills "Box Tops".
Finally, if you like Coca-Cola, look for the "My Coke Rewards" code found inside your cap or multi-pack cardboard container. If you already have Coca-Cola rewards and do not use them, please consider donating them to our school. Visit www.mycokerewards.com/schools to find out more information!
