Campbell's Labels

The Campbell's soup labels you have diligently collected have made a difference.  So far our first items have been puchased.  They include: 2 volleyballs, 4 soccer balls, 6 playground balls, a science fair project book, and an aerobics CD.  New we have a goal of 4,900 points to find the following science items:  a weather kit, a cross-section of the Earth, a How Things Work Kit, a Sky Science Kit, and a Human Body Kit.  Congratulations to everyone for collecting the labels needed for these many important items and for continuing to collect the labels so that we can meet our next goal.



Box Tops


Don't forget to send in those box tops.  The school should be receiving a check for $1080.10 soon from the last submitted amount!.  This check will go towards books, supplies for the students and field trips.  The next batch of box tops will be submitted this month.  We will keep you updated on that amount and as to what it will be spent on.  Thanks to all the parents that take the time to save them
