JBF PTA NEW Fundraising efforts...

Please help earn some extra green for JBF! (all while GOING GREEN & recycling!)
We are working to earn funds this year by...
1.) PHONES/PRINTERS CARTRIDGES: Collecting and recycling gently used cell phones and printer cartridges through www.thinkrecycle.com.
2.) CAPRI SUN POUCHES: We will now be recycling Capri Sun pouches at $.02 each. Send them in!  (:

Send in your POP TABS -
for the Providence
Ronald McDonald House!
Send in your pop tabs (from cans of soda's, juice, etc) in a sealed plastic baggie - - we are collecting them for Ronald McDonald House!  The tabs turn into $$$ for the Providence Ronald McDonald House!  Ronald McDonald House collects pop tabs because they are pure high-quality aluminum, unlike cans, which consist of aluminum and other alloys. Tabs are also easier to store and more sanitary than whole cans. What an easy way to lend a helping hand! Learn more, click here.
