Way To Go Dragons!!

Thanks to all the parents and volunteers that came out to support our school during the Albertson's Box Tops drive. It was a huge success and our school ended up placing 3rd in Box Tops collected during the event.

So far, the class leaders in our school contest are Mrs. Steele's class with a total of 2370 Box Tops tured in; and Mrs. Romney's class with 1069.

As a school we have collected 17,016 Box Tops! And we're only 3 weeks into our contest!!! If we keep this up, we'll be able to keep our title as the top school in all of Utah!

Please remember that if you still have Albertson's vouchers (worth 20 Box Tops each) we are still accepting them. We still have 5 weeks left in our contest so it's still early and anybody can win.

If you've forgotten what the prizes are, they are happily displayed in the Library near the Keva. There is one for the winner in grades K-3, and one for 4-6.

Just a reminder, but please try to clip the Box Tops away from the surrounding packaging if at all possible. We have to pay for the extra weight that this adds when we ship them to General Mills, and as I'm sure you can imagine, with this many Box Tops, that weight adds up fast. (Of course we'll take them any way we can get them, but it would sure help us out.) The other thing we are seeng, is expired Box Tops being turned in. THESE WILL NOT COUNT IN CLASS TOTALS. Please make sure to check the dates before you turn them in.

Keep up the good work Dragons! I will post next week with the updated leaders.

Box Tops at Albertson's

Please don't forget to check out the great deals at the Kaysville Albertson's from today until Saturday. They will be offering up to quadruple rewards for box tops during this event.

We have a container that you can place your box tops and kiosk coupons in from Wednesday-Friday, and will have a table set up outside on Saturday. All Box Tops from Saturday will be credited to your child's class for the contest that is going on now.

If you have any questions, or are willing to help out with the table on Saturday, please leave us a comment below and we will get back to you.

Thanks!

Box Top Market Place

Shopping online is often more convenient than hopping from store to store looking for the best deals. This summer as you start your back-to-school shopping, check out the Box Top Market Place and make it your first choice when shopping online.

First, go to https://www.boxtops4education.com/Registration/Default.aspx and register for the Box Top website. This will allow you to select Kaysville Elementary as your designated school. After you register, you will be able to bookmark or save to your favorites the Box Top Market Place. From there you will be able to shop online at over 75 national retailers including Old Navy, Target, Sears, Walmart, and even Disney. Each store will donate a portion of your purchase to our school through Box Tops.

I have included a link to view all the participating retailers and their donation percentages in the link list at the top-left of the blog.

Please make sure to go to the Box Top Market Place each time you shop. Purchases made at these stores without using the Martet Place links WILL NOT be credited to our school.

Thanks!

About Box Tops

Hi Everyone!

We are so excited for the upcoming school year, and to welcome back all our little Dragons. In the meantime there is still much work to be done, and this includes Box Tops.

Box Tops is a program offered through General Mills to help schools earn money. Each Box Top is worth at least $.10. As I'm sure you can imagine, those small amounts add up fast and can really help our school. Box Tops will be collected throughout the school year. We have two major deadlines to make in order to recieve the funds for the Box Tops that we save. Our first submission day is in October only giving us about 95 days (from today) to collect and organize as many Box Tops as we can.

Kaysville Elementary has earned a total of $16,253 since 2003, including $4,975 in 2007. Obviously, this has been a huge benefit to our students and faculty.

Please remember to check the General Mills products in your pantries and food storage and remember to tear off and clip those valubale little tags. When school starts, your students will be able to earn rewards for the Box Tops they bring in. Why not get a head start over the summer?
