In addition to joining the PTA or volunteering to participate in many of its events and activities, there are other ways to help the students of Albany Avenue.

Box Tops for Education: "Box Tops for Education" coupons can be found on all kinds of grocery items and are collected year-round at Albany Avenue. There's a bin in the main lobby. Albany Avenue receives monies based on the number of Box Tops collected. You might be surprised at how many products you have at home that have the Box Tops for Education coupon! Cut them out and send them in to help generate money for your school! For more information, visit the Box Tops for Education website or contact our Box Tops chair, Jill Lewis-Flood, at

Target credit card: Target offers a Take Charge of Education program whereby you can donate up to 1 percent of your REDcard (Target's credit card) purchases at Target and Target.com to a school of your choice. Through September 2008, Albany Avenue has received a total of approximately $6,700 in donations from 69 REDcard holders who have designated this school.
