The good news is nothing changes this program year and we can submit the Campbell 's Labels for Education through the end
of this year.

Dear Maple parents,
We're excited to kick off a new Technology Fundraiser and we'd love your support.
As part of their school work, your child(ren) in grades 2-5 have been using Storybird to create books using beautiful artwork as inspiration during Tech class.
The students LOVE Storybird. And as a teacher, I love how it builds literacy, creativity, and digital cit izenship, all within a safe environment that respects data privacy. Over 200,000 schools around the world use Storybird, and it gets a 5-star rating from Google Education and Common Sense Media.
Storybird Fundraisers allow you to purchase high-quality versions of your child's creative work, and kids get to see their writ ing in print? just l ike real, published authors. Through these sales, we are able to raise money for our school without taking any time away from learning. It?s a win win!
INSTRUCTIONS
The Storybird Fundraiser is now open and ends March 18, 2016
