Latrobe Area School to Get Free School Supplies through Campbell's Soup Label Program

Mountain View Elementary to Receive Over 20,000 Labels for Education^TM from Morella's Route 30 Shop-n-Save

By Christine Emmick

Since February 2007, the owners of Morella's Route 30 Shop-n-Save have donated over 26,000 Campbell's^® Labels for Education^TM to Latrobe area schools, and they are set to do it again. Through a partnership with the company, the Latrobe Shop-n-Save will donate over 23,000 more Labels for Education^TM certificates to Mountain View Elementary School in Latrobe.

With these points, the school can select anything from Crayola^® art supplies, Merriam-Webster's^® reference books and Math Blaster^®learning software, to playground equipment, a MiniDV camcorder or a wireless PA system. The program also includes earning points for video projectors, iMac^® and Dell^® computers, flat panel TVs, educational games, science kits and models, microscopes and even an electronic scoreboard.

The Morella's encourage members of the community to join their efforts by simply donating Labels for Education UPC codes from the products they use. Just drop them off at the box located at the front of the service desk. Many Campbell's^® soup UPC codes qualify for the Labels for Education^TM program, and Labels for Education^TMpoints are also found on selected Spaghettios^®, Franco-American^®, Prego^®, Pepperidge Farm^® and Swanson^® products. Selected V8^® juice caps and certain Campbell's^®Food-service products are even accepted.
