ON
YOUR MARK, GET SET, COLLECT |
|
School
is back in session. So that means we need to start collecting BOX
TOPS for STAFFORD!!!
We will
be counting box tops once every six weeks this year. They
will be collected by grade level, and every six weeks the top collecting
grade level will win a BOX TOP PARTY sponsored by one of
our local businesses!
Counting
will start over at the beginning of each 6 weeks.
So
everyone needs to keep their scissors ready to collect all the box tops
they can! Remember to ask your family and neighbors to help you!!
Once you fill up a collection sheet you can turn to your teacher and be
entered in the drawings we do at the end of the 6 weeks as well.
We also
want to thank the local businesses that are sponsoring our parties this
year:
Italy
Auto
Dairy
Queen
Trinity
Mission
C.D.L.
Help
Uptown
Cafe
Insignah
Thanks
you all for your support!! ~ Stafford Elementary
