BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION DUE!! – Parents, we want to thank you for everyone that has donated their Box Tops for Education to our school. So far this year we have made a little over $300 turning in the box tops. We are a little behind where we were last year so we are trying to make it fun by attaching some collection sheets for the kids to fill in. Each collection sheet has 10 spaces on it. The kids can tape or glue their box tops on these sheets and then color them and turn them into the school office. All box tops are due by February 25th.
