Lower School classrooms were competing to win a Sundae Party and a denim or no homework day. Congratulations to Ms. Garay's 5th graders for collecting the most box tops this spring. Following close behind were Ms. O'Connell's 1st graders, Ms. Rosnick's 5th graders, Ms. Grabfelders 2nd graders, and Ms. Ducharme-Barth's 3rd graders. We also had a great response to the pencil incentive where individual students earned a free pencil by completing a basketball-themed collection sheet with ten box tops. Special thanks to Ms. Harmon's Kindergarten class for near-perfect participation and to Nellie Brady for being the only student to color her collection sheet (and brighten our day). The totals below include box tops from classroom collection boxes plus individual collection sheets.
Pre-K / Drebes / 290 box tops
Kindergarten / Brady / 220 box tops
Kindergarten / Harmon / 370 box tops
1st Grade / O'Connell / 550 box tops
1st Grade / Light / 90 box tops
2nd Grade / Grabfelder / 485 box tops
2nd Grade / Sentipal / 336 box tops
3rd Grade / Ducharme-Barth / 380 box tops
3rd Grade / Manthei / 366 box tops
4th Grade / Bushman / 320 box tops
4th Grade / Evans / 20 box tops
5th Grade / Carroll / 20 box tops
5th Grade / Rosnick / 510 box tops
We will update these numbers as more are submitted.
When combined with our Fall totals and the Middle School and Upper School submissions, we have collected 11,641 box tops so far this school year. We are only 359 short of our annual goal of 12,000. We'll provide a school-wide treat when we reach our goal, so keep sending them in.

LOWER SCHOOL BOX TOPS TALLY PARENTS
1. Make sure your classroom has a Box Tops collection box as close to the first week of school as possible (contact me if it does not have one already).
2. You will receive three emails (one in Nov, one in Dec and one in May) asking you to empty the collection box and count the box tops.
3. After each collection, trim all box tops along the dotted line so the logo and expiration date is showing (discard any that have expired).
4. Bundle the box tops in groups of 50 with string, rubber bands or plastic baggies then label the entire group together with your teacher’s name (in the fall). No classroom label is required in the spring since the goal is school-wide. Note: BONUS Box Tops must be bundled separately.
5. Bring your bundles to the Lower School Front Desk with a grand total clearly documented on top.
