HO-LEE-COW!!! You did absolutely amazing this year!

Please, please, please stay tuned over the summer as there are some huge Box Tops events scheduled, and we will not be in school to remind you. Summer is pretty much an un-tapped Box Tops gold mine, and we should do what we can to make our goal early. This is also a great way to save money over the summer on your grocery bills.

Oh, yeah... our goal. General Mills has increased our goal to 77,700 Box Tops for next year! WOW! That's a lot of Box Tops. Next year the rules are changing to make things more fair across the board for all the participating schools. Instead of us being "judged" by how many BT's (Box Tops) are brought in by the entire school, we are being compared by how many Box Tops are being brought in per student. This will be done by dividing our total amount turned in, by the number of students we have. This year our ratio was approximately 87 BT's per student. In order for us to make our goal next year, this ratio will have to increase to 104 BT's per student.

That's a pretty tall order, so please help us out by staying in the loop over the summer. If you would like to have an email reminder of special sales and Box Tops events emailed to you over the summer, please leave a comment with your preferred email address and I will be sure to email you any new information as I receive it. If you would prefer to send me your email address privately, you can email us at bxtps4drgns@yahoo.com

Again, thanks for all your hard work this year. Box Tops is an extremely important program to our school, and you have made this year a glowing success!

WOW!!!

Well, our Box Tops contests have both ended and we as a PTA are ASTOUNDED by how many Box Tops our school collected!

In our second contest, Mrs. Steele's class proved to be a tough competitor and secured their second win of the year! Congratulations! Mrs. Simonsen's class showed that last minute scrounging for Box Tops can push you over the edge and score a victory for your class. Their class won their division by 3 Box Tops! Both winning classes recieved an "indoor recess box" filled with fun games to play during indoor recesses.

Overall, our school brought in 10,264 Box Tops in the second contest bringing our total to the year to an unbelievable total of 64,085*, that is a dollar amount of $6,408.50! You shattered our previous record by collecting 14,337 MORE Box Tops than ever before in one school year! AMAZING!
