A parent letter and 2 “Back to School” collection sheets should have come home with ALL Elementary students this week explaining the programs and incentives. Secondary students did NOT receive a letter, but all secondary teachers DID and hopefully passed on this information.

All secondary students who participate by turning in labels will each receive small incentives and the 2 highest collectors will receive a $10 gift card to Itunes.

All Elementary students who participate will each receive a goodie bag and the 2 highest collectors will receive a $10 gift card to a book store or Chick-Fil-A.

The elementary students had a fantastic 1st collection with 235 students participating!  It was great to see all the collection sheets coming back filled with box tops and labels.  We also had 11 secondary students, 14 elementary teachers and 6 faculty members turn in labels.  As always, we would love to increase the amount of secondary students and Teachers and faculty members.  Please help us out by collecting and submitting these labels?  A lot of these labels can be found in your own classroom on items you use every day.  Please clip these labels and turn them in to one of our collection bins, it’s FREE MONEY for our school and it’s so easy to do!!
