General Mills "Box tops for Education", Campbell's "Labels for Education" are programs that help raise money to fund enrichment activities for students and families of FRE and provide various educational and fitness items needed for our students, staff and PTA.
Parents, family members, co-workers, and community members can help by saving, clipping and submitting Box Tops/Campbell's Labels and saving Coke Rewards to the FRE PTA. Please separate the collected items place them in baggies and clearly mark your students name and teachers name on the baggie, THIS YEAR WE ARE KEEPING RECORD OF TURN-INS BY CLASSROOM AND STUDENTS. There will be student drawings through out the year and overall classroom party towards the end of the year!
FRE redeemed enough Campbell's labels in 2006-2007 to "buy" an electric piano, which was donated to the music department.
SPA and Fitness Owl equipment was obtained in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and 2012. FRE has over earned $12,317 since 2002 from the Box Tops for Education program.

Sample items and sizes will be available at the school for your viewing. This sale is pre-order/pre-pay only!!! Items are non-returnable unless they are defective.
Holiday Shoppe
Holiday Shoppe is a four (4) day event where students have the opportunity to purchase inexpensive gifts for their family. Students have a wonderful shopping for their families in our little temporary store and with help from our volunteers some students learn a little about economics...I personally love the question "Do I have enough money for this?" Gifts range from $.50 to $10.00. We highly encourage visiting the shoppe with your student to guide them through their purchasing.
Holiday Family Night
This event is will include holiday cookie decoration, holiday book readings by staff members, holiday skits by staff members, holiday crafts, AND a visit from SANTA. Holiday shoppe will also be open for your convenience.
Other Events
Events change from year to year and the PTA Board is always looking for new ways to connect with the community, support the school administration, provide resources to parents and enhance the kids' life at school. Other great events offered by the PTA in the past have included a spaghetti dinner, silent auction, dance parties, movie nights, reading night, arts and crafts night, science night, assemblies, staff appreciation events for back-to-school, Valentine's Day and Teacher Appreciation Week in May.
