PTA Information:
*PTA has created a BOX TOP GARDEN. Depending on how many box tops you have turned in depends on how many petals are on your flower. The first petal represents 25 or less box tops and every petal after represents 25. **Just a reminder, SPED will be picking up your box top envelope every Friday, not PTA. **
*APEX funds- All Apex funds need to be turned in for reimbursement to PTA before September 30th. Please contact Crystal Barnhill if you need another copy of your total Apex funds.
*If you have any pictures from your classroom that can be shared, please send them to Crystal Barnhill or Jill Wagenknecht. We will forward them to the yearbook committee. Thank you in advance!
