Located in the international atrium, the black gravity well is a wonderful place for your spare coins. After you drop the coins in, watch as they rotate and spiral closer to the center before finally spinning out of sight. Coins from the gravity well benefit missions.

Proceeds from the recycling bins on the north parking lot benefit the school. Paper items such as magazines, catalogs, newspapers, office and school papers, mail, phone books, and cardboard boxes (even cereal boxes) are acceptable. Plastic, glass, metals, and trash items are not acceptable.

Earn cash for the school each time you shop for groceries. Each unexpired General Mills box top for education is worth 10¢. Box tops may be turned in at the school or church office. Products include Ziploc bags, Pillsbury, and Betty Crocker. For a list of qualifying products, refer to this website: www.boxtops4education.com/downloads/global/products.pdf

Clip and save Campbell's Soup labels and other Campbell's products, such as Prego spaghetti souce, Spaghettios, Goldfish cracker products, V8 juice and more. Bethesda can redeem these labels for items that will benefit the school. In the past, art supplies and P.E. supplies were earned for the school. When clipping labels from cans or jars, only the front portion (the portion with the product name) is needed. On boxed products, the UPC symbol should be clipped. Save labels and place them in the large "Campbell's soup" container in the hall near the school office. In addition, grocery receipts from Kroger which have Campbell's product purchases on it may be turned into a box in the same location for bonus points from Campbell's.

The school sells scrip (gift card certificates and prepaid cards) which can be used to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials. Scrip is purchased at a discount - from two to fifteen percent or more - and resold for full face value. You may order scrip by email from Kim at kdavid@birch.net or fax the order to 817-656-8369 then pick it up in the church office a day or two later. Or if it is convenient you may purchase it in the international atrium Thursday and Friday mornings from 7:45-8:15 and Monday-Friday afternoons 3:15-3:45. For a list of available scrip and an order form, refer to the school website: www.bethesdachristianschool.org/bcstacscrip.htm

Enter the school code 9000-7835-3 when you place an online order at www.landsend.com and the school will receive 3% of the purchase price.
