Back to School Night success

I would like to do some promotional information and fliers at a table at our school registration day. I am not sure what booklets people are talking about on this forum. This will be the third year for me to coordinate LFE for our school, and I have not gotten any booklets and I am not sure what bonus points you are referring to.

Also, I would like to pass out up to date information on what is 1 and 5 point labels for 2009-2010 school year. Does anyone know when this information will be coming out? We only have about 2 weeks before registration, and the info on the web site still has last years dates on it.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Excellent idea for Back to School Night. Last year, at the suggestion of my co-chair, she distributed our booklets to the incoming Kindergarteners and I think 1st graders and any new students--she cut all the coupons off first (as the mom of a Kindgergartener, she just spread the word of what had been there) and put the school info on the booklets' point sheets with peel-and-stick labels. I copied point sheets (with the school info written on first) as part of a takehome handout for the rest of the grades (through 5).

This will be my second year coordinating. I hope to add a table at our Open House nights (about a month into the school year, one K-2 and one 3-5). If I get permission, I'll ask parents to donate V8 Fusion or Splash and Goldfish to serve, and collect back the wrappers and containers to take off the UPCs. At the table, I'll probably have copies of point sheets, the product list, a handout about any online promotions and maybe explaining some things like Labels for America, my Campbell's Cup trophy on display, and a "Good-Better-Best" submission instruction poster (good being the whole label, better the clipped UPC, and best a filled point sheet--also samples of different UPCs and directions to separate Campbell's from Boxtops etc.). Plus there's a PTO basket raffle those nights, and I plan to fill the Campbell's tote from this past year with Campbell's store items and products--that won't earn us UPCs directly, but will raise awareness as everyone looks at those baskets. And we'll have the Campbell's/Boxtops hallway bulletin board done up to start the year.

Lots of plans, and I'm getting lots of great ideas from these forums!

These booklets were offered in May and you had to sign up for them by June 1. Watch your e-mail around May 15 or so for a notice. I bet it'll be posted here as well.

Way to go!

That is such a great idea! The way the certificate was on the back of the booklet this year should make that very easy to do! At ours, I asked them to do it and had pens for them to label them for the contest, but had not been prepared with scissors.

I had to laugh when I read your comment about a super coupon... that is exactly what people think! Awhile back, I found about a dozen of the recipe books that were left over from quite a few years ago when I was cleaning my garage. There were good recipes, coupons with no expiration date and bonus labels (only 5 points, I think). Anyway, since it was so old I cut the certificates out and put the booklets out since they had such good info. I think every single person that looked through it before taking it picked up another one to check that page and commented on how it must have been a super good coupon for someone to take them all... I had to explain what I had done and why...
