Foskett Ranch Elementary Newsletter
January 8, 2020
NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL...
We have started 2020 with many activities. Student council organized dress up days for our week back from the break, we have a family night this Thursday (January 9th), our annual spelling bee on Monday (January 13th) and a parent seminar on January 28th.
Mark your calendars for Friday, February 7th. The fourth grade parents are planning our Son and Daughter/Important Person dance. This year we are trying one dance instead of separate *Father/Daughter* and *Mother/Son* dances. Students will be able to bring one important adult with them whether it be a parent, grandparent, or another special person in their lives. Please be on the watch for more information in upcoming newsletters.
I look forward to seeing you in the multipurpose room tomorrow night at our Minute to Win It event.

Thank you for continuing to send in the Box Tops you collect in your everyday shopping.

Box Tops can be collected in multiple ways; such as:
- Unexpired, printed Box Tops official coupons can be clipped from packaging and sent in to teachers or the collection box in the office.
- Box Tops can be collected electronically by scanning your store receipts that include participating products with the Box Tops app. Or both; you can clip the coupon from the package AND scan the purchase receipt for double credit while the newer labels are phased in.
