Collecting BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION, sponsored by General Mills, is a great way to add much-appreciated funds to the Music & Creative Dramatics program! "Thank you" to all who collected box tops in the fall semester. Each box top was worth 10 cents for a total of $224.60!
Please clip and save box tops for the spring semester! The front office has special sheets for attaching the box tops, for easy organization.
Spring semester box tops must be turned in by March 1. A check for spring earnings will be sent to EDS in May.
