PTO Meeting

There will be a short PTO meeting on Tuesday Oct. 18th. The school is asking for $3000 from the PTO. There is a grant that is available that would match the funds. This would give Discovery $6000. Mr. Marlow will be at the meeting to go over what he plans to do with the money. We will meet at 2:45 in the library.

We will also vote on if the PTO is willing to provide the transportation for field trips again this year.

Box Tops!

We are off to another great year for Box Tops! Our goal this year is $3,304. We will again be having a classroom competition with a party going to the class with the most box tops collected. Just a few things to remember as you send box tops to school:

1) Please check the expiration date as we cannot use expired box tops. Also, if there is not an expiration date on the box top, it is not an official box top.

2) When using the collection sheets, please limit the number of box tops to whatever is indicated on the sheet (25 or 10). Box tops can also be sent in a ziploc bag.

3) Please keep soup labels (labels for education) separate from box tops.

If you have any questions, please call Heather Jensen at 589-3445. Thank you for your support of the Box Tops for Education program!
