This was the best contest ever, amassing 8529 box tops in the first few months of the school year. All classrooms participated, and the Lower School results were very close. The three Lower School classrooms with the highest number of box tops will receive pizza parties. The winners are Ms. Carroll's class (1405 box tops), Ms. Harmon's class (786 box tops), and Ms. Garay's class (606 box tops). When the contest was originally announced in September, we offered a fourth party for the highest per student average not already a winner. This was intended to give the smaller classes a better chance to compete against larger classes. The winner in this category was Ms. Light's class with 51.90 box tops per student. Here are the numbers:
Pre-K / Brady / 120 box tops / 7.06 per student
Kindergarten / Harmon / 786 box tops / 43.67 per student
1st Grade / O'Connell / 327 box tops / 32.70 per student
1st Grade / Light / 519 box tops / 51.90 per student
2nd Grade / Grabfelder / 518 box tops / 30.47 per student
2nd Grade / Sentipal / 162 box tops / 9.00 per student
3rd Grade / Ducharme-Barth / 557 box tops / 37.13 per student
3rd Grade / Manthei / 270 box tops / 16.88 per student
4th Grade / Bushman / 540 box tops / 33.75 per student
4th Grade / Evans / 435 box tops / 27.19 per student
5th Grade / Garay / 606 box tops / 33.67 per student
5th Grade / Carroll / 1405 box tops / 87.81 per student
Main Hallway Box / 15 box tops
The Middle School competed for a denim/logo day, and the numbers were so good that the winning class will also earn pizza (or a similar treat of their choosing). Congratulations to the victorious sixth graders.
6th Grade / 1057 box tops
7th Grade / 230 box tops
8th Grade / 211 box tops
The Upper School had a box tops contest as part of their Spirit Week competition prior to Homecoming. In this very short contest, they collected a total of 771 box tops.
Thanks to all of our families for supporting this program.

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.
