Box Tops
Keep the effort going. A reminder from our box top leader Kathy Swan with the holidays quickly approaching there are a gold mine of Box Tops to be clipped! It's a fun and easy way to support Salem Elementary. Be sure to ask friends or family if they might have any to add to your collection efforts.
Monthly Contest: For every 5 Box Tops turned in, the student will be given 1 entry into a monthly drawing, held the 25th of every month. Winner will receive a Coyote Den Coupon. REMINDER that baggies must be clearly marked with the child's name and teacher's name to be entered into the drawing.
October Winners:
Sebastian Sant (Mr. Todd's class)
Isabelle Wall (Mrs. Pozniak's class)
Looks like 4th grade is doing well with their Box Top clipping. Keep up the good work!
