From Angela Truman, coordinator for Box Top’s and Labels for Education Programs:

This year, we are planning for two box top competitions.  For each, there will be two levels of competition:

• The top classroom from each wing (EC, 1^st/2^nd, 3^rd/4^th, and 5^th);
• The top boy and girl from each wing.

The first competition period will run from now until December 18^th.

The second period will start January 4^th and run through March 19^th.

Box tops and labels can be sent to school with your children or dropped off in the designated boxes in the school lobby, outside of the office.  There are three box top/label programs this year:
