Attention all 2nd grade families!
We need your receipts!
Instead of box top collection, our PTA is joining the Box Tops for Education team in scanning receipts as the way to earn money for our school. You can help in one of two ways: send all your Food City, Kroger, and Walmart receipts (any receipt that might contain an item with a box top item) to school for our PTA to scan OR download the Box Tops app and scan your receipts yourself! The deadline for the next collection is November 1st. Send in those receipts!
Donelson Street - Kindergarten pick up, 3:00-3:15
