and the enthusiastic participation of students, parents, school staff and patrons, 33,905 labels were collected. This year’s goal of 30,000 labels was surpassed. Labels from cans of Campbell’s soups and beans, FrancoAmerican products, V-8 juice and Swanson products are redeemable for educational equipment. This year’s labels will be redeemed for playground and classroom equipment and supplies. In past years educational equipment including record players, tape recorders, listening centers, a slide projector and other smaller educational items have been obtained through this project. Each year of label collection has been marked by a steady increase in numbers. In the 1974-75 collection, the first year of the program at Syracuse Elementary, 7,800 labels were collected. This year, 1983-84, 33,905 labels were collected. The Executive Committee of the Syracuse PTO will be asked to approve sponsorship of the program for the 1984-85 school year. Next year’s collection drive should exceed 30,000. Residents are encouraged to save the front protion of Campbell, FrancoAmerican, V-8 and Swanson products in anticipation of next years label drive. However, the school does not endorse these products, nor are they soliciting people to buy them. They are requesting that people who buy and use these products save the labels for them. The students and staff of the Syracuse Elementary School thank all persons who have participated in the “Labels for Education" collection. Not only have parents and students responded to this program, but friends, relatives, patrons with no children in the school and people in the surrounding communities have also responded. Again, thanks to all who helped make the drive a success!
