See you there. 1.) Snag...
While visiting your child's classroom during Parent/Teacher Conferences, Snag a Leaf. Near your child's classroom there are Pumpkins with leaves on them. Written on the leaves there are various supplies your teacher needs. Grab a leaf and donate the item to the classroom. Simple. Teachers love gifts they can use for their students! 2.) Submit... Last school year we earned over $1400 in redeeming labels!! There is currently a label collection contest going on between the classes. The kids all know, the class with the most wins a special party! The party could be a Luau, an Ice Cream Social, a Pop/Popcorn party, a Pizza Party, or go on a walk for ice cream cones. The possibilities are endless and the winning class decides what their party will be. Submit your qualifying Box Tops for Education, Label's for Education and Best Choice UPCs to count toward the classroom total. For the current contest, we've already counted over 8,000 labels!!! Contest ends OCTOBER 31st! Check out Box Tops for ways to earn online. 3.) Volunteer/Donate... Sign up for anything from working a concession stand, to donating a food item, to being a room parent and everything in between. There are many different ways to be involved, at your convenience. Please check the class party sheets tab for any voids there may be for your child's class. The first holiday party is sneaking up quickly! 4.) Appreciate... October is Principal Appreciation Month. Let us all give a little recognition for Mr. Proffitt for doing a wonderful job with our children. For the parents with older children, Mr. Brown and Mr. Dillon deserve a pat on the back as well. A simple "Thank You" can go a long way. By showing gratitude we can ensure a great parent/school supportive relationship. A win/win for everyone. |
