Labels for Education are found on Campbells and Market Day products.  We earn points to purchase school supplies through a catalog. 
Tyson Foods, Inc. Project A+ labels are worth twenty-four (24) cents each.  We can use the money to buy books or computers, make improvements to the school building, or anything we want.

If choosing to do a trip, this committee would be responsible for one or more fundraisers to help cover the additional cost.
