3 BOX TOPS 4 EDUCATION NEWS Well, the first classroom collection contest has to be next month--sorry, but the individual class submissions accidentally got mixed together, so I can't tell you which class submitted the most! Bummer! I can announce the names of the top three individual earners--jacob Patterson in 1st grade with 320 Box Tops!! Wow! Second was Adam Jaworski, Grade 3, with 56 Box Tops, and tied for third place were Noah Roy, Grade 2, and Ava Marie Roy, PK-4, with 33 each. Great job!! Now...for some GREAT news: (drum roll, please)...i just submitted 4,010 Box Tops! That's over 1/4 of the way to our goal of $1500 (15,000 Box Tops) in the first month of school alone!!! Who's better than SAS families!!?? Nobody, that's who!! :) Want to make more $ for SAS just by clicking a button? I just ordered my child's winter outerwear. I logged onto boxtops4education.com and clicked on "Box Tops Marketplace", which is a collection of over 100 brand-name retailers who've agreed to donate a percentage of your purchase price when you shop online through the Box Tops site. Just make sure you've signed up to have SAS as the school you wish to receive the $. Once I clicked on "Land's End" on the Marketplace list of stores, I was rerouted to the Land's End site. I shopped as I normally would, purchased a jacket and boots through the secure encrypted site, and bingo! 2% of my purchase price is going directly to SAS! I recently booked air and hotel through Expedia.com on the Marketplace and 1% of my purchase price was given to SAS! Can you imagine if you bought your child's birthday party supplies through Oriental Trading Company (4%), itunes gift cards (2.5%), your Christmas pictures from Snapfish (6%), or your pet's medications through PET-MEDS (4%)---we'd be making big $ for our wonderful school! Awesome!! Remember, if you need help with the Box Tops website or have questions, Sue Pace at spacemo62@gmail.com or call Thanks, and keep clipping! Book Fair The Scholastic Book Fair will happen soon! We are looking for volunteers to help with setting up, breaking down and staffing the book fair which will run November 1st to 5th. If you can help for a couple of hours during that week, please contact Bridget Shanley at (860) or bashanley@charter.net.

Way to go, Myles! Box Tops continue to pour in! SAS families are the best! Woo-hoo! Your coordinator is happy to answer questions regarding the program. Here are a couple that I received this week: Q: "I just made a purchase on the Box Tops Marketplace. Why isn't the percentage donated by Land's End reflected in our school's earnings?" A: Since Box Tops relies on the merchant to report the purchase donations, (and remember, no personal information is transmitted) it may take a whole billing cycle (4 or more weeks) for the donation to be reflected in the school's earnings. If that amount of time comes and goes and you haven't seen the $$ posted, please let your coordi- nator know and I will check it out for you (or you may contact Box Tops customer service yourself, if you wish). Q: "I have some Box Tops with an expiration date on them of June Can I still submit these?" A: Sadly, no. Any Box Tops I receive with an expired date cannot be submitted. :( Q: "I signed up on the Box Tops website last year but didn't put my name in for the $25 gift certificate drawing. Can I still submit my name now for this year's drawing?" A: Sure you can! Hopefully, you still have the confirmation that Box Tops sent you after you signed up. If you do, just print it and bring to the school office. If not, contact me (spacemo62@gmail.com) and we'll work something out. That's it for now!!
