Green coffee mugs and green shopping for Edison

We’ve been busy promoting the Green Up Our Schools campaign at Edison and have gotten some great response. Some exciting news is that Edison was just approved as a recipient of sales on the Greenraising website. Greenraising was created to help raise money for schools and give children an opportunity to learn that their actions can change the world through environmental awareness. You can purchase “green” products on the site and some of these include:

• School supplies such as lunch boxes, backpacks, notebooks, and Sigg bottles
• Gifts such as candles and fair trade soccer balls
• Home and office products such as cleaning supplies, soaps and lotions, and office supplies
• And much more!

The best part is that 20% of all purchases made on their website will be donated to Edison. In addition, Edison will receive 40% of proceeds on any purchases made from October 24th through November 7th! Proceeds will be used for future green initiatives and green ‘gotchas’ for the kids. Go to www.greenraising.com and help raise funds for Edison while helping the environment.

Another great initiative:
This fall, reusable coffee mugs were given to all teachers, staff, and interns in the school. The mugs were a big hit, and were designed with the Edison logo on one side, and the Green Up Our Schools logo on the other.



We’ve decided to make the mugs available to Edison families and will combine sales of the mugs with our green totes. The Edison Elementary Tote is perfect for shopping trips, trips to the library and replacing plastic shopping bags - while displaying your school spirit. The mugs are available for $15 each, and the totes are available for $5 each. Purchase the Edison Green Combo, 1 mug + 1 tote for $18! You can purchase them online using the links below(limited supply) with your credit card or Pay Pal account. Arrangements will be made with you to pickup your order at school.

Make your orders by clicking the buttons below. You will then be able to pay by credit card, or login to your Pay Pal account to pay. Orders will taken until November 20. You will be contacted to pickup your order when it arrives in late-November.
