Family Fun Night!

On Friday, October 24 from 6:00-8:00pm, you and your little goblins are welcome to come in costume to PTO's Halloween Family Fun Night. Join us for games and treats and old fashioned fun! A $3.00 donation per family would be appreciated to help defray costs. Please note: We cannot allow drop-offs of children. This is a family event, and a responsible adult must be present. If you are interested in helping out, please plan to attend the PTO meeting on Tuesday, October 7 at 6:00pm in the library. Thanks!

Labels &  BoxTops

Q: Do I need to save the WHOLE Campbell’s label? 

A: The labels are no longer accepted.  Clip only the UPC codes along with the Campbell’s Kid.  They must be together.  Some are just plain UPC codes, while others are yellow.

Since incomplete BoxTop symbols may be invalid, please clip carefully around the dotted lines on your favorite General Mills products.  Your child’s teacher will appreciate your help if you send in neatly trimmed, counted BoxTops.  If you have a lot, please package them in 50’s.  It is helpful to attach a label with the number of BoxTops you are sending, too. Remember, the class with the greatest number each month gets a pizza party!  Your child will thank you!
