Great Job! |
| Thanks so much to our Field families and volunteers for supporting our school and its special events! We are so excited to report the following successes from March:
The Barnes & Noble Book Fair hit the $10,000 total sales mark which means collectively participating schools will receive 20% back - the highest percentage available. Special thanks to Missy Joplin for coordinating Field's part of the event!
The Wii Tournament raised $115 from participants and approximately $85 in food sales. Many students are already asking when the next tournament will be! Special thanks to Tom Baird for coordinating the event and McSalty's for hosting.
Special thanks to Lisa Cantin for writing a grant that has been awarded to Field! Our school was selected from thousands of gardening programs across the country as a $500 Garden Package winner of the 2010 Welch's Harvest Grant!
Special thanks to Jennifer Petty who has organized this year's monthly skating parties. These parties are popular with all grades and are a wonderful way for Field families to enjoy each other's company! |

Please, if you have not already signed up for or have not been receiving your e-newsletter, send your email address to Carol Wooten at carolwooten@mchsi.com. For those without access to a computer or email, hard copies of the newsletter will continue to be printed and placed in the flyer distribution stand directly inside the front door at Field.

Labels and Box Tops = $ for Field
|
THE COMPETITION IS FIERCE.......
BOX TOPS, CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS AND
TYSON CHICKEN LABEL UPDATE
The student body and their families at Field Elementary have done an amazing job collecting over 2,150 points for Campbell's Labels for Education (up from 840 points in the last collection, another $460.90 in Box Tops (that is 4,690 Box Tops which is up from the 2,950 Box Tops collected last time) and a few Tyson Chicken Labels (we have to wait until we have 100 before we can submit those).
In any event, thank you, thank you, thank you for helping earn more money and equipment for our school. The competition is still going strong and we will have the rankings by class posted in the cafeteria, and announced over the intercom within the next week. We will also announce our 3rd Quarter Individual Winner.
Please keep trimming those pink Box Tops, Campbell Soup Labels and Tyson Chicken Labels and our next collection will be APRIL 19, 2010. Please make sure that you mark your label and Box Top baggie so that your class gets credit and you could possibly catapult them to winning the Ice Cream Party at the end of the year. Plus, one more incentive we are going to throw out there for every class that has all of their labels neatly trimmed (i.e. cut on the dotted lines, not torn off the top of the box or soup label torn off the can), that class will earn extra bonus points of 50 that could push them to the front of the race for the Ice Cream Party. Happy trimming and good luck!!!!!! |
