Best of all, for each Safeway Club Card you register; we will enter your name in
a drawing to win either a $100.00 gift card (1st prize) or a $25.00 gift

The drawing will be held on May 7th at the Spring Family Event.
You do not need to be present to win – but you won’t want to miss out on the fun!

Your Efforts
Have Paid Off!!
Thank you for contributing your Campbell Labels for education at Newcastle Elementary. As a result, our school received 23,000
reward points to use on a variety of academic, music and physical education items.
Most recently our PE teacher, Mr. Miller, made a purchase using those points.
Your kids will soon be seeing a fantastic new game called Fitness Skillastics
during gym time. This fun, fast-moving game features a large mat showing 26
fitness drills in 3 levels of participation. In addition, we also purchased
eight soccer balls which can be used during recess time. Thank you, thank
you, thank you for your participation in clipping and turning in these labels -
- your efforts really pay off!
