Boxtops for Education
Welcome back to school, parents! This year Lowell will again be collecting Box Tops for Educationâ„¢. Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school earn cash. Last school year, we earned over $1,000. We've already earned over $200 this school year from clipping this summer!
Box Top coupons are on the packaging of hundreds of participating products that you probably use every day. All you need to do is cut them off of the box they are on, stick them in a baggie, and send them to school with your child (bags of 50 box tops are preferred).
We will be collecting Box Tops all year long, so start saving and sending in your Box Tops today!
Be sure to track our progress at www.boxtops4education.com. Anyone who signs up for theBox Tops email now through 9/30, Lowell School will receive 5 Bonus Box Tops! Our school # is 126491. Thanks for choosing to support our school by collecting Box Tops!
Sincerely,
Becky Graziano and Becky Sindelar

Band and Orchestra Registration
Did you know that the District 200 instrumental music program is known throughout Illinois for its excellence? 5th graders who do not play an instrument now have the opportunity to sign up! Registration for Band and Orchestra takes place at Hubble and Franklin Middle Schools on Tuesday, September 8, and at Edison and Monroe Middle Schools on Thursday, Sept. 10. Drop in any time between 4:00 and 7:45 p.m. to see the instruments, talk to instructors, and get information about renting instruments. Materials may be ordered at this time that will be delivered to schools in time for the first lessons. 5th grade students who already play are welcome to participate!
If parents cannot attend these sessions, please contact the band or orchestra teacher from your school. Students younger than 5th grade may also participate in large group rehearsals if they take private lessons outside of school. There is an $80 fee for elementary band or orchestra participation; this is adjusted for students who qualify for exempt or reduced fees. Please contact the instructor for more information! The band director at Lowell is Mr. Dan Dupree at Daniel.Dupree@cusd200.org ; the string orchestra director is Mrs. Jeanne Johannesen at Jeanne.Johannesen@cusd200.org.
