Support our School - Just by Labeling Your Kid's Stuff!
Looking for an easy way to keep your child's belongings from getting lost AND support our school at the same time?
Our school has partnered with Mabel's Labels, Lovable Labels and Oliver's Labels, each with a custom school link. When you order labels through any of our school-specific websites and fundraising buttons, a 20% portion of every purchase goes back to our school towards our playground fundraising - at no extra cost to you! These labels are perfect for water bottles, lunch boxes, uniforms, jerseys, shoes, backpacks, and more. It's something you already need - now it can help our school too.
Oliver's Labels: http://www.oliverslabels.com/BHESFundraiser.
Lovable Labels: www.bayviewhill.lovablelabels.ca
Mabel's Labels: When ordering from Mabel's Labels website, friends and family will just need to type in Bayview Hill Elementary School (Richmond Hill) from the "support a fundraiser" button and it will show the available fundraising combo and other products to choose from.
Visit our school's fundraising links, place your order, and help turn everyday labels into extra support for our students and school!
