Ways to Give

1. Time: School success is in part due to the dedicated time and energy of parents and community members. REA is no exception. Our doors opened the first year of school with the hard work and help of our staff, board, and parents. The need continues. Please consider serving on the Board of Directors.
 
If you're interested in volunteering to put together mailings, do maintenance around the school, drive & chaperone for fieldwork, or anything else - please let us know!
 
2. REA Trip Fund: This trip fund was established for donors to give specifically to the REA expeditions. The money from this fund will be used to offset the costs of fieldwork expeditions, day trips, leadership training, and overnight expeditions. We look forward to watching this fund grow along with the opportunities we will be able to provide our students. Please donate now. Check out our school profile page on Give MN.
 
3. Recycling 4 Cash: Recycling is a value of REA! We recycle cardboard, paper, cans, bottles, and glass every week. Please consider bringing in your old electronics for the "Recycling 4 Cash" program. Proceeds will directly support students and you can be good to the environment by recycling rather than throwing these items in a landfill. Bring your inkjets, laser toners, laptops, iPods, cellphones to the office for recycling!
 
4. Labels for Education: For more than 37 years, Labels for Education has been awarding free educational equipment to schools in exchange for proofs of purchase from the Campbell family of brands. It's a fun, easy program where students, families and members of the community work together for a common goal. Today, over 60,000 schools and organizations are registered with Labels for Education, benefiting more than 42 million students. Over the years, they’ve been able to provide more than $110 million in merchandise to America's schools! Click here for participating products and get started saving for REA!

5. Batteries: Not many people think of recycling batteries! But we do! Bring in your used batteries
and REA will recycle them at J & J Recycling. It's small, but you can make a difference.
 
6. Target Red Card: For those of your who are regular Target shoppers, use your Target Red Card
to give back to our school! You can designate a percentage of your purchases to come directly back to REA.
 
7. Donate: Consider making REA a part of your regular giving. Go to GiveMN.org and donate directly to REA to benefit our students!
