You can help us earn money from Coke by creating an account at https://us.coca-cola.com. Instructions for entering the codes are on our website at http://school.myolph.com/support/partners.cfm. It’s so easy! You can even snap pictures of the codes with your phone instead of typing them in! If you are not a Coke product drinker, please feel free to drop by the office and pick up some lids. If you drink Coke products but don't want to enter codes, please set your lids or carton end panels aside and send them to the school office. Thanks for your help! Every little bit helps!
