Thank you so much for those of you who have sent in the money and permission slip for our 1^st Grade Field Trip to see Johnny Appleseed.   Please send in the permission slip and $14.00 to cover your child’s ticket and transportation by Friday, October 4^th. We are so excited that we will be studying Johnny Appleseed this fall. The kids will love it!

Don’t forget to sign and return your child’s progress report!

 

Rewards for Clipping! 

Box Tops is such an easy way for parents to get involved in their child’s education. Just by purchasing Box Tops products, clipping the coupons and sending them into school, we earn cash that can be used to buy anything we need. Our school earns 10 cents for every Box Top and that really adds up! As Coordinator for Box Tops, Labels for Education and Tyson Project A+ Labels at Rocky Branch, I wanted you to know about the reward system we have in place. I collect labels from each classroom on the last school day of each month. The classroom with the most labels collected earns a Popcorn & Capri Sun party along with an award certificate to hang outside their door. The kids get really excited about these parties and it helps make earning money for our school FUN!! Don't forget to turn your labels into your teacher during the last week of each month.

Thank you for ALL your support,

Annie Prenni
