Box Tops Winners For April

Congratulations to Mrs. Vassallo’s Kindergarten class for winning the April dress down day – collecting 788 Box Tops.  Mrs. Vassallo will advise when the class will have their dress down day for winning.

The next day (and final time for this year) for collecting and counting Box Tops is June 4th. Please hand in ALL your Box Tops at that time. They do expire and if you hold them all summer we may end up throwing out a bunch out next fall.

Heather Meyer will be looking for new volunteers to help sort and count for next year, beginning in September.
