Baggaley Elementary School Receives Over 13,500 Labels for Education^TM from Morella's Route 30 Shop-n-Save

By Christine Emmick

Over the last two years, the owners and patrons of Morella's Route 30 Shop-n-Save have donated over 39,500 Campbell's^® Labels for Education^TM to Latrobe area schools. The most recent donation was over 13,500 Labels for Education^TM certificates to a Latrobe area Elementary School. The students of Baggaley Elementary School in Latrobe happily received these at this month's PTA meeting from the owners, Craig and Lisa Morella, of the Latrobe area Shop-n-Save.

Campbell's Soup Labels for Education^TM program enables schools to get free school supplies and school equipment. With these certificates, the school can select anything from Crayola^® art supplies, Merriam-Webster's^® reference books and Math Blaster^® learning software, to playground equipment, to an overhead projector or a wireless PA system. The program also includes earning points for video projectors, iMac^® and Dell^® computers, flat panel TVs, educational games, science kits and models, microscopes and even an electronic scoreboard.

Members of the community joined their efforts by donating Labels for Education UPC codes from the products they use and dropping them off at the box located at the front of the service desk. Many Campbell's^® soup UPC codes qualify for the Labels for Education^TM program, and Labels for Education^TM points are also found on selected Spaghettios^®, Franco-American^®, Prego^®, Pepperidge Farm^® and Swanson^® products. Selected V8^® juice caps and certain Campbell's^® Foodservice products are even accepted. For more information on the program, visit www.labelsforeducation.com.

Cold Cow Ice Cream of West Mifflin and Morella's Route 30 Shop-n-Save in Latrobe to host "Banana Split Bonanza" ice cream social to raise funds for cancer research

By Christine Emmick

With the weather warming, it's a great time to have fun with the family and enjoy a cold ice cream treat. This Saturday, May 2, at 10:30 a.m., Morella's Shop-n-Save and Cold Cow ice cream are doing just that. In keeping with Cold Cow's pledge to "bring the fun back to ice cream," they will turn a life-sized canoe into a banana split serving dish. Cold Cow and Morella's Shop-n-Save will provide three huge mounds of ice cream, bananas and other toppings, in an effort to benefit the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.

For a donation of only $1.00 to the Morella's Route 30 Shop-n-Save's Relay for Life team, patrons will receive a Cold Cow Ice cream sundae with 100% of the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. There will also be Pepsi and hot dogs at a bargain price of $1.00, as well as a pie throwing contest and huge outdoor produce sale.

Present for the festivities will be Tom Lazarchik, the owner of Strickler's Pharmacy of Latrobe, PA, which is the birthplace of the banana split. He will place a ceremonial scoop atop the creamy cold creation outside the Latrobe Shop-n-Save while attendees enjoy the celebration.

The fun will also be broadcast live on "What's cooking at Morella's Route 30 Shop-n-Save" at 10:30 a.m. on radio station WCNS 1480. Tune in with the "What's Cooking" crew to hear all the excitement, get some great recipes and find out more about the Morella Relay for Life team.
