Box Tops News: Wow!!!!! I would like to thank the parents, teachers and students for sending in your Box Tops. It looks like we earned around $700.00 in Box Tops. You guys are amazing!! The winner of the middle/high school is Ms. Kluba. It was a very close race for the Elementary. Ms. Schemel won. However, it was within 1%. Ms. Kovalesky's class earned a FREE dress day for all their hard work. We will be having another Ice Cream contest in February so keep sending in your Box Tops to your teachers. The Box Tops Deadline for our next Ice Cream contest is February 16th. Collect Box Tops from everyone you know. Grandparents love to help. I would like to extend a special thank you to Carol Driskill. She cut all of the Box Tops in the Elementary wing. I can't begin to tell you how much that helped me. Have a GREAT week!!
