FUN-Raising - Box Tops
|  
Thanks for all of the Box Tops you turned in, Meadows PTA will soon be receiving a check from Box Tops For Education™ for $480. This school year we've raised $850 just from clipping Box Tops. Way to go! We are at a 5 year high!
Our goal this year is $1,000 so please continue to look for the pink Box Tops on select products, clip them, and send them to school. Box Tops can be turned in by:
- Placing the clipped Box Tops in the front office collection box or
- Completing a Box Tops submission form (your child will earn a SKORR card for each completed form). Forms can be returned in a Tuesday envelope or to the front office collection box. Extra Box Tops forms are in the front office.
To stir a little friendly competition, special thanks goes to the top contributing classes by grade: K-Radl, 1st-Pahl, 2nd-Gregorio, 3rd-Yates, 4th-Barakat, and 5th-Jones.
Please continue clipping Box Tops during the summer for next school year. Thank you again for helping!
Don't toss them ...clip them and return them to school.
THANK YOU!!
