Dear Parents,

Your child’s teacher has created a My Class
Essentials™ registry on BoxTopsForEducation.com.

This is a new program that helps provide learning
supplies your child’s classroom needs. A My Class Essentials registry is like a bridal or baby registry, only a teacher creates it on behalf of her students and classroom. The registry lets teachers obtain much needed classroom materials without having to use their personal funds. With a My Class Essentials Registry, teachers can get the supplies needed to create an excellent learning environment. My Class Essentials is a great option for busy parents who want to easily support their child’s classroom. With a few clicks, the products are sent directly to the classroom. To access your teacher’s registry at anytime, please visit btfe.com/myclassessentials.
Sincerely,


The Box Tops for Education Team
on behalf of teachers help our
classroom!

Meeteetse: PLEASE SAVE YOUR BOXTOPS AND GIVE TO MRS. POTAS!!! It's simple, most products contain Boxtops, so just cut them out, and save them in a Zip-lock in order to start earning money for our school. If you cannot deliver them, please call, and I would be more than happy to pick them up from you!!!! 868-2501

SUNNY D

Dear parents and guardians,

I’m very excited to tell you about a program our class is participating in
that will bring free books to your child’s classroom. It’s called the
SunnyD Book Spree, and the program will donate 20 books when
our class sends in 20 SunnyD UPC labels. The program will also award
hundreds of books to the ten schools that collect the most labels.
Please help us get our free books! Last year, SunnyD donated 84,000
of them.
Save SunnyD UPC labels, and send them in to our classroom. I’ll
collect and mail them to the program for our free books. Ask friends and
family to collect labels, too—because once we’ve earned our 20 books,
we can start collecting for the big prizes. We could win hundreds of
books for our school library!
For more information, go to Sunnyd.com/bookspree. You can even
track our school’s progress and see how many labels we’ve saved.
So thanks in advance for helping all our kids shine in school!


Thanks for your support!

Mrs. Potas/868.2501
