Washington Elementary
February 5, 2018
Counselor's Corner
To wrap up January, students continued to learn about the importance of friendships and necessary friendship skills. Kindergarten students learned about the difference between “friendship makers” and “friendship breakers”. First graders learned from Howard B. Wigglebottom and helped him become a better friend. Second grade created their own friendship soup, and third grade talked about rules of friendships. Fourth grade learned about things to not joke about and fifth grade learned about the skill of empathy.

You can help raise money for your school!
It’s easy to support your school with items you already use in your home or receipts from stores you already patronize!
Feel free to send any of the following to school with your student.
There are drawers in the hallway next to the lost and found to drop any of them off.
Each box top through Box Tops for Education is worth 10 cents. If each student turned in just 20 box tops during the year the school would receive around $800. Watch for Bonus Tops on participating products or as a coupon from your store purchase. Go to www.boxtops4education.com to sign up, enter sweepstakes and to see a list of the participating products. Box tops do expire so be sure to turn them in on time!
Through Kwik Trip’s Milk Moola program, each milk/juice cap and bag top is worth 5 cents. Please remember to rinse the caps and bag tops before turning them in.
Save your Hy-Vee receipts from both Mankato locations and they will donate $1 for every $150 spent through the Hy-Vee Kash 4 Kids program. The receipts must be dated during the current school year (Sept. 2017- May 2018) to qualify. Every little bit will add-up!
