Box Tops for Education

Box Tops for Education is a national school earnings program that has been around since 1996.  Since then, schools across the country have earned over half a billion dollars from Box Tops to buy whatever they need.

Our school's goal this year is to earn $2,000.  We can easily achieve this with your help!

Clip Box Tops, found on hundreds of products, and send them to the school.  Each Box Top is worth 10 cents for our schoool!

Thanks for your support in helping to make PCES great!

Coupon Books

Parents, yesterday we sent home Enjoy the City coupon books.  This is one of the very few fundraisers our school participates in.  Not only are you helping our school to raise money, but these coupon books are really great investments.  If used, they can save you a lot of money!  : )

Here's what you can do:

*Show the sample book to family and friends.  They cost $20.

*Collect the money from those who wish to purchase, and take their name down, but don't give your book away yet.

*Send money in daily to the school.  I will collect it and get you a receipt.

*The last day to turn in coupon book sales money is September 9.  Books will be delivered no later than September 12.

If you choose not to participate, please return the sample book back to the school.

PRIZES:

*For every 5 books a student sells, the parents earn a free book!

*Every student who sells 5 books gets an extra 30 minutes of PE!

*The top seller from each class gets to come to a pizza party where we draw for $50!

*The top selling class gets an ice cream party!

Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for your help in this endeavor!

Welcome Back!

What a wonderful first few days!  I can tell this is going to be a fabulous year!

I love our class.  They are some sweet kids, and I can tell they come from great families!  We currently have 18 students on roll - 8 girls and 10 boys.

I hope this blog serves as a way to keep you plugged into our classroom and give you a peek at what our day in third grade is like.  As soon as I have the chance to check media releases, : )  I plan on posting plenty of pictures.

Thank you for sharing your students with me this year.  I am looking forward to getting to know each of them better, making new discoveries, and creating awesome memories together!
