THANK YOU!
A huge thank you goes out to all students, teachers, staff, and parents who clipped and sent in those Box Tops! We managed to raise $507.80 for Montgomery Elementary! As a community we collected 4,250 Box Tops and 828 Bonus Box Tops. Keep sending in those tops and we'll start organizing them for the snowball competition in January. Place loose Box Tops in envelopes or ziploc bags marked with your student's homeroom teacher on it. Or better yet, tape 10 Box Tops on 8.5x11" piece of paper with the homeroom teacher's name on it - and we'll start counting. Thanks again!
