It’s Box Tops Pickin' Time!

The leaves are changing colors and the apples are ready to be picked. So are the Box Tops and the first collection game will begin Monday, October 20th and run for four weeks. Each Tuesday, please send in your Box Tops, in groups of 10, to be redeemed for an apple which will be placed on your classroom door. Watch out for the bad one, caused by a worm though! These can be sent to any opponent for $1.00 (ten Box Tops) and eradicates their apple! All classrooms keep the money earned by their box tops, regardless of how they are used (for an apple or worm).

Last year we earned over $1000 and I would like to aim for that again. Please get involved and encourage the students to turn those box tops in. The top place class will have $10 added to their earnings, second place will have $5, third will get $3 and fourth will earn $2.

We will end this game on November 14. The candle orders will be sent out the first of November and be due in before the 19th so that we can be sure to have the candles ready for delivery prior to Christmas.
