Save Those Box Tops and Labels!
Our goal last year was 20,000 Box Tops and we surpassed that by almost 21,000 collected and turned in--great job! Right now, there is an easy way to earn E-BOX TOPS for our school. Purchase 10 participating items in ONE transaction and receive 50 E-Box Tops! Save your receipt, put a star next to the items purchased, the date, the store and the total dollar amount, take a picture of it on your phone, and email/text it to submit@BTFEreceipts.com.
You will then receive a text or email confirmation code that you REDEEM by logging into www.BTFE.com. Log in with your email and password, click on REDEEM and put in the code. Our school will automatically earn $5.00 each time we do this now through August 31, 2014. There is also an easy step-by-step video that shows you the process on their website as well. Keep saving those Box Tops and Labels as the grade level who turns in the most through the first week of school (ending on August 22) will earn a FREE DRESS DAY in September.

A Letter from Fr. Bob
In anticipation of the new school year, last Tuesday the St. John Bosco teachers and staff spent the day in prayer, reflection and sharing. The theme of the one-day recollection was "Service With Love." A special Mass was also celebrated with the teachers and staff being provided with an opportunity to wash each others' feet. It was wonderful to be in their presence and witness their enthusiasm as they prepared to welcome their new students back to school. To read the rest of Fr. Bob's back-to-school letter, click here.
