The boxes have been removed from the classrooms for the summer, but there are still collection boxes in the office. I’m sending a summer box top collection sheet home with your children. It’s a fun way to learn about some of the different items that have box tops on them. You can actually put any box tops on them (they do not have to be the item specified in the box), so don’t worry about having to buy products you might not want. Please try to fill the sheets up during the summer. Feel free to make copies if you need them, and pass them along to anyone who might have kindergartners joining us next year. Thank you for making this program so successful and so fun for the kids! – J. Johnson: gljill1@msn.com
