year of a four year college
criminal justice program.

Committee, in making its
selection of awards, intends
on achieving representation
from all geographical areas
of the state.

All Crosby area schools and
Super One are working together
to earn donations from the
Gold'n Plump® brand of deli
rotisserie chicken.
Gold'n
Plump rotisserie chicken has
joined other consumer brands to
help schools pay for enrichment
activities like arts, technology,
athletics and other extras.
School label redemption programs give back more than $90
million to 70,000 cash-strapped
schools every year. Until now,
all of these require someone to
trim, sort and count the physical
box tops, soup labels and milk
caps and ship them back to the
manufacturer to be tallied. This
time-consuming chore invariably falls to parent volunteers.
Minnesota-based Gold'n
Plump is the first poultry
provider to join a program, and it
is the first to work with the
Labels 2 Learn website to
redeem its donations online.
"We are very sympathetic to
the busy mom, especially during
the school year," said Rory
Bidinger, brand advocacy and
marketing manager for Gold'n
Plump. "We think this is an
excellent way to express our
brand's commitment to healthy
families, thank our current customers for their loyalty, and
attract new customers."
"The rotisserie chicken is an
excellent solution to what we call
the 'dinner crunch' ... that frenzy
between after-school activities
and after-supper activities when
mom—or dad—has to get supper on the table," he said.
Bidinger says he and his wife,
who have young children themselves, know first-hand about the
challenges facing the family

schedule. "We want a supper
solution that's convenient, hot,
healthy and a great value. A deli
rotisserie chicken is perfect - and
now our customers can help us
send money to their kids' schools,
too."
The Cash Code printed on
specially marked sleeves can be
redeemed online for twenty cents.
"Anyone can do it for any
school," Bidinger said. "No registration is required, and it just
takes a few seconds to make a
difference. Those 20-cents add
up quickly."
Redeem Cash Code at
www.labels2learn.com
More than $800,000 in
donations to schools is available,
and the promotion runs throughout the school year.
"Most schools must plead for
extra cash," says Brad
Thompson,
president
of
Minneapolis-based
Labels2
Learn, "because virtually all of
their budget is earmarked for
mandated programs, personnel
and facility maintenance.
Twenty percent of all schools
hold six or more fund-raising
events per year, and most of the
rest are holding three or four that's exhausting for everyone."
Thompson foresees a future
where most brands use an online
platform to reward and build loyalty for proof-of-purchase
because "it is an excellent use of
the marketing budget. This
breaks through the noisy media
clutter and engages mom through
a cause she cares passionately
about."
Dropping off or
picking up of
student at C-I
Students who need to leave
school for an appointment, etc.

after signing out.
While returning to school,
parents/guardians should drop
their son/daughter off at the same
location and the student will
need to sign in at the principal's
office before returning to class.
