BOX TOPS for Education


P.S./I.S. 217 is excited about a new way we are collecting 'BOX TOPS for Education' and raising funds for our students, teachers and school! Simply put when we collect more BOX TOPS, we raise more money for 217!

Our goal for Spring 2010 is to raise....$2,000 for our school!
To raise $2,000 we need 20,000 BOX TOPS! Is it possible? YES and it’s simple!! There are over 400 students at P.S. 217, if each student brings in 50 BOX TOPS by June 11th (only 10 BOX TOPS a month for the next 5 months!) – we will meet our goal. We can even exceed our goal – which allows extra funding for our teachers & school. Let's set our goals high, and realize TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS!


IN SCHOOL COMPETITION

The students need to CLIP – BRING – and DEPOSIT their BOX TOPS in their class jar (each teacher has a new Box Top jar in each classroom). We hope students will ask friends, neighbors, family members and anyone else they know who will give their BOX TOPS to our school We want them to be creative and safe in asking - please remind them to only ask those people they know!

Classes will be divided into groups for a friendly and fun competition. A bulletin board will be up by end of Feb. to track the progress of each class in their group. The class in each group to earn the most BOX TOPS from Feb. 1st – June 11th wins a
CLASS ICE CREAM PARTY!

Month of February
OLYMPIC Competition for each student!

This first month of competition we are adding an extra incentive for students brining in their BOX TOPS! In celebrating the 2010 Winter Olympics, a personal tracking sheet ‘Countdown to Vancouver 2010’ was sent home. This month students can glue/tape BOX TOPS to each sheet (10 max. per sheet). Lower-grades will submit sheets to their Classroom Teacher. Middle School students should submit their sheets to Ms. Lauraine. BOX TOPS will count towards class & monthly totals! Please remember to fill in CHILD'S NAME and TEACHER. The top 3 students in each competing group, who turn in the most BOX TOPS on the 'Countdown to Vancouver' sheet, will win the GOLD, SILVER & BRONZE medals for bringing in the most BOX TOPS! You can pick up additional 'Countdown to Vancouver' Sheets from the Main Lobby ~ Parent Communication Center. ALL entries are DUE Friday, Feb. 26th!
