PTO is still accepting the survey sent home in the 3/31 white envelope.
Please see our website, www.saintantoninus.org to download a survey, and
pass the survey on to sisters, mothers, and friends. The more surveys
we have that qualify for the study, the more money the school will be
paid. After turning in your survey, and if you qualify, you will be
asked to use a facial product in your home for a short period of time,
then fill out a questionnaire. There is no one-on-one survey or
return visit. The product will be picked up here at St. A. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!! St. A PTO.

CAMPBELLS
UPC CODES.
Please continue to clip the UPC codes only – front labels are no longer
accepted by the program. Also, with the purchase of Campbell’s
products, Biggs has been giving out a coupon for additional labels.
Please forward those to me, with or without labels! It‘s an easy way to
increase our points so the teachers can “purchase” more items.
Interested sixth graders who want to start earning service hours are
needed to clip UPC codes in preparation for the end of the school year
mailing. This is an easy activity that can be done while watching TV or
with a group of friends. Quick turnaround is necessary. Please contact
me for details and a packet to get started. Lisa Egner, 347-7119, or
