GIANT EAGLE APPLES FOR
THE STUDENTS
The FRHS PTO is again encouraging any Giant Eagle shopper to help the high school in this FREE program. Register your Advantage Card and your spending will help the school earn points that can be exchanged for FREE educational products. Last year we received 3 microscopes, a DVD/VCR player and a volleyball. This year's program began on Sunday, October 28, 2007 and continues until Saturday, March 15, 2008. If you registered last year, you are already registered this year. THANK YOU! You can change the school that you wish to support anytime. You can designate up to 5 different schools for your spending to be divided equally among those chosen. There are two easy ways to register your Advantage Card so that the high school receives your spending electronically. 1. Call toll-free 1-800-474-4777 and follow the prompts. Have your Advantage Card on hand for the 12 digit number on the back. Our school code # is 1704. 2. Visit www.gianteagle.com. Search for Apples For The Students and follow the instructions. Have your Advantage Card ready and use our school code #1704. Encourage your friends and relatives to register their Advantage Cards to help the high school. We currently have 175 Advantage Cards registered for us. PLEASE REGISTER NOW! Our school account has been activated for this year's program. Don't put it off because these 20 weeks go by quickly. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Questions? Call Judy Stramat (724-733-5923) ALUMINUM CAN RECYCLING
Annie Essay's and Judy
Polcyznski's classes collect aluminum cans. The
Life Skill classes use the money earned to
participate in functional and community based
activities such as the Special Olympics. Cans can be
dropped off in the fenced-in collection bin behind
the Middle School. The cage is just for loose
aluminum cans. No plastic bottles or bi-metal cans,
please.
Please DO NOT put bags in the cage!
If you have collected your cans in a bag or some
other container and you are unable to dump the cans
into the cage, please do not toss them in
container and all. Simply place your container on
the pavement near the cage and the students will
take care of it. If a bag is tossed into the cage
someone must physically climb into the cage and
remove it! This can be dangerous, not to mention
unpleasant and in the warm weather the bees and
yellow jackets add to the safety concerns whenever
someone has to climb in to remove bagged cans. So
please remember - ONLY LOOSE CANS IN THE CAGE.
Thanks!
The aluminum can collection
and recycling program is an all-year activity.

OFFICE DEPOT DONATES TO SCHOOLS

Regional High School or you can make live a little easier for
them by giving them our school ID# - 70087330.
