From our PTA President....

Hello Explorer Family!

We had a wonderful turnout in Box Tops submissions over the last two months.  A total of 917 were submitted to the PTA.  This gives us a running total of $638.80 so far this year.  Absolutely amazing so far.  Our goal of $1,000.00 is within reach.  With around six months left in the school year, if we average 600 a month, we can accomplish this goal.

In accordance, the top producing class will receive a special prize (ahem...party) courtesy of the PTA.  So please continue to clip and send in those Box Tops.

Our top three students were:

1st Place - Leylani Cabrera (60 Box Tops)
2nd Place - Kacey Ford (48 Box Tops)
3rd Place - Madison Dailey (19 Box Tops)

All three students will receive a prize.  For every 25 turned in by students during the year, they will also receive a prize.  This is a running total, so multiple prizes are possible.

Our top three classrooms were:

1st Place - Mrs. Dinner (657 Box Tops)
2nd Place - Mrs. Dove (60 Box Tops)
3rd Place - Mrs. Best/Mrs. Hiltner (25 Box Tops)

Mrs. Dinner will receive the Traveling Box Tops Trophy to display on her desk, now that we finally have one.

Our top three students overall are:

1st Place - Caitlin Joyce (277 Box Tops)
2nd Place - Leylani Cabrera (189 Box Tops)
3rd Place - AJ Boyette/Damin Boyette (72 Box Tops)

Our top three classrooms are:

1st Place - Mrs. Dinner (657 Box Tops)
2nd Place - Mrs. Wyant (335 Box Tops)
3rd Place - Mrs. Dove (189 Box Tops)

Once again, thank you for all that you do as a part of the Explorer Family.  Our success is a credit to all of you.

Thanks!
