Campbell's Labels Pay Off


Logan is one of the many students using the new sewing machine in the art room. Mr. Wilson's sixth graders have been great volunteers to bundle Campbell's labels to send in to the company. So it makes sense that they be the first to try out the new Brother machine.

We have an old machine in the art room that we inherited from the Home Ec. department. But the old one is kind of finicky and has hard to remember, complex threading. We had "banked" about 13,000 Campbell's labels. I knew that there was something that we would need some time when we had a large number of labels banked. One day when I had rethreaded the old machine about 15 times in an hour, it dawned on me that we could get a sewing machine with the labels. I ordered it online and two days later it was on the sewing table in the art room.
Thanks, Past and Present Sixth Graders!
