Your Trash is Our Treasure

In addition to our paper collection, there are many other ways we can help St. Hilary School earn money each year through the Box Tops for Education Program. CUT IT OUT! you say. Yet, that is all you need to do - just clip the Box Tops for Education coupons from hundred of your favorite products and send/bring them to the school in an envelope marked ”Box Tops”. You can make a difference for St. Hilary each time you shop for groceries. This past school year Box Tops helped St. Hilary School provide shirts for the Peacemakers among other things. A list of participating products may be picked up at the school office or the California vestibule of the church.


Labels for Education takes only few moments of your time to save certain markings from food products purchased - for example Campbell’s, Pepperidge Farm, Franco-American, V-8, Swanson, Prego, and selected MARKET DAY products. (St. Hilary can win in two ways!) Through this program, St. Hilary School has been able to obtain supplies for the playground & after-school care, as well as nutrition charts & globe for classrooms. A list of products may be picked up at the school office or the California vestibule of the church.

The first graders are saving the flip tops from cans to benefit the Ronald McDonald House.

Also, drop off your no longer usable cell phones, as well as empty inkjet, laser & fax cartridges from home, relatives, work & friends at the school office. These, too, may be turned in to benefit the school and to help with recycling as well. Through the monetary rebates we have received so far, the school has been able to purchase printers, monitors & other computer hardware for the school’s technology lab.

Remember — any of these items may also be dropped off with the teacher & students in the parking lot on Green Sunday (the 1st Sunday of each month depending on weather.)
