Albertsons Box Tops Deal

Mrs. Kupfer let me know about this great deal that Albertsons is running right now. Buy 6 items and get 20 box tops bonus. She said that she bought 12 items and ended up with 83 box tops. A lot of things have double or triple box tops right now. Just thought I would pass along the information. Remember your child's class can earn parties depending on how many box tops they bring in. The parties are for box tops and labels for education that you can find on Campbell's products.

Meet the Teacher

Don't forget meet the teacher is Monday August 6th from 3-6pm. Look for the sign up sheet to help PTO with activities. We will be sending home a packet from the PTO with you the night of meet the teacher so watch for it.

Walmart Bag Recycling Fundraiser Discontinued

Field PTO learned this week that Walmart is no longer offering the plastic bag recycling program that was previously listed on the Free Money for Field flyer. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you to those who collected bags in the past. Even though bag recycling is no longer part of fundraising program we encourage you to drop them off at your grocier's recycling bin.

Barro's Pizza

Dates for Barro's Pizza night coming soon!

Barro’s Pizza supports our kids once a month by giving a percentage of all Field’s orders back to our school. You can eat in, order out, or have your meal delivered. Some people are smart and order lunch with their entire office. Be sure to tell the person helping you that you are from Field Elementary so your order will be counted!

Box Tops

Cut the Box Tops off of products that you find in your pantry, send them into school with your child, and help us earn lots of free money. Each Box Top is worth 10¢ and that adds up fast.

You can also visit http://www.boxtops4education.com, register in the Booster Club, and Field will get 50¢ for every person who signs up. This website will send you coupons if you are interested, and when we use the site Field will be entered into drawings for cash prizes.

It is always helpful if you can trim the excess around the Box Top. It helps us save a lot of money on shipping when it is time to send them all in.
