Dear MTRS Families,
Mother Teresa Regional School is creating a custom cookbook featuring favorite recipes from our
school community. These cookbooks will be professionally published and are sure to be a treasured
keepsake for us all. Money raised will be used for the Retention and Recruitment Committee.
Each family is asked to submit a minimum of 3 favorite recipes for our cookbook. Many recipes from
all families will ensure that our cookbook is a success. We are using Morris Press Cookbook’s web
site to easily submit recipes online. If you are unable to do this, you may submit hardcopies to the
school office and our committee will enter the recipes for you.
To ensure a variety of recipes, we are asking each class to adhere to a category. Feel free to submit
additional recipes in other categories.
Appetizers and Beverages: Kindergarten and 7th
Soups and Salads: 3rd, 6th
Veggies and Side Dishes: 8th
Main Dishes: PreK 4
Breads and Rolls: 4th, 5th
Desserts, Cookies and Candy: PreK 3, 1st, 2nd
Cookbooks will be available in December for $10 per book. You may contact the committee with any
questions/comments. Please submit your recipes online by October 12 so we can meet our
deadline.
Thank you!

MTRS is sponsored by four parishes along the Bayshore: Holy Family (Union Beach), Our Lady of Perpetual Help-­‐St. Agnes (Highlands and Atlantic Highlands), St. Ann (Keansburg) and St. Catherine (North Middletown). Throughout the school year, parish priests are invited to visit our students and celebrate mass. Students and their families are encouraged to actively participate in their home parishes. Each month, we have planned a weekend mass at one of our sponsoring parishes. This is a wonderful opportunity to thank those parishes that support us spiritually and financially. We hope that your family will join us at these masses to pray together as a school community.

H elp the 7th grade collect pop tabs this school
year. Please send your tabs in an envelope
marked "Pop Tabs".
the ronald mc donald house of
long
branch
&
new b runswick
Schools, service organizations,
individuals, churches, scouting clubs,
and businesseshave begun collecting
aluminum pull-tab rings found on
beverage cans for the Long
Branch and New Brunswick Ronald
McDonald House. Groups of all ages
enjoy saving the tabs to help our
environment and to help families in
need. These small, all too often
overlooked gems, are proving to be
a tremendous source of charitable
revenue for the Ronald McDonald
House. Pop tab rings have significant
value in the recycling industry,
representing the purest form of a
desirable metal for those who recycle.
The aluminum that is donated to the
Ronald McDonald House is taken
to a local recycling station where it is
weighed and cashed in by the pound.
The money netted is used to assist
the House with operational expenses
such as household supplies and
utilities. We are also able to waive
the room fee for those families in
need of financial support. All the
collections do add up to make a
heartfelt impact in working together
to provide shelter and comfort to
families during the medical treatment
of their children.
pop tab
“collect-a -million
club” school
p r o g r a m fa c t s h e e t
WHAT: The Ronald McDonald House is combining its on-going need to
generate funds with the virtues of conservation by recycling through a
pop tab collection program. Collect one million pop tabs and your
school becomes a member of the Ronald McDonald House
“Collect-A-Million Club”.
WHY:
The Ronald McDonald House serves families whose children require
care at an area hospital by offering them a homelike atmosphere where
they can get the rest and renewal they need to be most supportive of
their sick or injured child. Guests stay at the House regardless of their
ability to pay the requested $10.00 per night donation. We waive the
fee over 80% of the time. However, although the House has an
increasing occupancy rate per year, the requested donation does not
cover the actual $60.00 per night per room expenses of maintaining the
House. Therefore, philanthropic support to generate additional funds
necessary to cover the House expenses is essential.
HOW:
It is so easy! The tabs on pop cans can easily be removed by twisting
them back and forth until they break off. Because the actual tabs are so
small, they can be collected in many types of convenient containers
such as buckets, boxes, coffee cans etc. Once large quantities of tabs
have been collected, arrangements for getting the tabs to the appropriate
recycling center can be coordinated with the Ronald McDonald House or
by contacting your local recycling center.
GOAL: The overall pop tab goal for the Pick up the Tab campaign is
to collect over a billion pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald
House of Long Branch and New Brunswick. The Indiana
Ronald House has collected over thirty million tabs generating
over $17,000 in revenue! This special “Collect-A-Million Club”
school program has been established for schools that wish to
participate by setting their own goals to collect one
million tabs.
