Thank you all so much for your support, generosity and outpouring of love over the past 2 weeks. I truly appreciate everything that you have done for me and I am grateful and blessed to work at a school with such wonderful parents, children, faculty and staff.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Thank you again for the great job you are all doing in collecting box tops and helping in our fundraising efforts

The totals have been incredible for our collections, with Mrs. Lavas’ Kindergarten still in the lead.

3rd grade is still in second place by a minimal margin and 2nd grade is coming up strong. Mrs. Thompson’s 8th grade is still a contender in the top four.

The ranking of top classes are as follows:
Kindergarten – 758 Box Tops
3rd Grade – 741 Box Tops
2nd Grade – 647 Box Tops
8th Grade – 282 Box Tops

A few of the other classes are not too far behind so it is anyone’s contest.

Remember each and every box top you send in earns $.10 for our school and it adds up quickly. To date we have collected over $450.00 for our school.

Thank you for all your support and cooperation. I wish each and every one of you a Blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. I look forward to all the box tops we will collect in 2009.

Sincerely,
Kathie DeLuca – Box Tops Coordinator
