Labels For America Offer

Barb,
Dental Health Day would work.

Here is another one: Our students collected pop tabs for a girl who is having two surgeries and her family will be staying at The Ronald McDonald house with the Childrens Hospital. The community got in on this one and their car trunk was filled with containers holding pop tabs.

Our school regularly turns in one for our Annual Food Fight, a competition between classes to see who donates the most food items for our food drive.

The second one is for our fire prevention monthly activities in October.

We also have Field Days, our gym teacher puts it on like a mini olympics so the little kids are one day and the older kids another. When the older kids go out the little kids "sponsor fan" one of their teams. K classes may cheer for 4th G China or USA teams.

So with those three we usually will use one of the assemblies about bullying or addictive preventions, as our last one. If we don't have an assembly that would qualify then we use the Library's Reading program.

Hope this is helpful. Many of the things your school already does can qualify for these points. One other time during the spring we did a Dog vs Cat fight. Most of our grades only have 2 classes, one would be Cats the other Dogs and whomever turned in the most food or other items for a pet food drive to help the local humane society.

We have already turned in all 4 sheets for the 2000 points. Good luck to everyone.

Remember, it doesn't have to be from the list on the website. You can do your own as long as it fits in one of the caring, learning or sharing ares on the actually form. If you look back through your school newsletters and such you may find that you have already done enough projects to fill out 4 of the sheets and get the 2000 points.

At our school the lower grades (K-2) visit our local fire department. They also receive fire safety in all grades at the school from the fire department. Does this count towards the Labels for America bonus?
