As most of you are aware, teachers dip into
their own pockets each and every year for classroom incidentals.
Our teachers are no exception. After witnessing teachers purchasing
items on their own, and noticing many of these items are things
we have at home, or even inexpensive items others may actually
want to donate to their school, the “Giving Tree” was
created.
If you would like the opportunity to support classroom budgets,
and give back to a teacher, simply follow the steps below:
- Choose an item from the tree.
- Remove the item.
- Label the item with your child’s name so a thank you
note can be written.
- Return the donated item to the teacher along with the leaf.
Thank you for helping to support our teachers! |

BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION & TYSON PROJECT A+ LABELS
Once again Earhart students, parents & staff will be collecting Boxtops & Tyson Project A+ Labels.
We receive 10 cents for each boxtop & 24 cents for each Tyson label, this for something that would
otherwise end up in the trash!!! Money earned last year helped purchase roller skates for our P.E.
class. The top four classes will receive a “Rewards Party” after each contest. So send them early
and often! A running total is kept on a bulletin board near the gym. So check it out the next time you
visit and see how your student’s class is doing.
Contest #3 ends March 3rd
Contest #4 ends May 12th
Make sure dates are on Boxtops and send the ENTIRE Tyson Project A+ box end or bag tear off strip. To see all participating products go to: boxtops4education.com and
http://ProjectAPlus.tyson.com.
If you have questions, contact: Connie Purnell @794-4080 ext 8666.
Boxtop totals are in for the current contest which runs January 8th- March 3rd. So far we have collected 2,571 Boxtops & Tyson Labels. That’s another $257 for our school. Great Job! You still have until March 3rd to bring more in. Our final contest of the year will begin March 4th and end May 12th, so keep clipping.
Our current leaders are: Mrs. Dalrymple KG- 350, Mrs. Eisenhauer 4th-279, Mrs. Hubert 2nd-238, & Mrs. Miller 1st-169
