Hundreds of your favorite brands, such as Betty Crocker, Cheerios, Chex Mix, etc., are now carrying 2 bonus Box Tops as well as the regular Box Top on each package. For more brands, as well as coupons, shopping opportunities, bonus Box Top contests, etc., go to </span><u><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.btfe.com/" target="_blank">www.btfe.com</a></span></u><span style="color: black;"> and check it out. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: black;">Our BIG contest this year will award the winning student-resource teacher team with a $25.00 Visa gift certificate each. The turn in date will be <strong>February 19th, 2010</strong>. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: black;">Contest Rules: 1. Clip and trim Box Tops care- fully. 2. Check expiration dates on all Box Tops. 3. Bundle in groups of 50 (or less) for turn-in. 4. Place in a <strong>Ziploc baggie</strong> (very important) with <strong>student name, resource teacher name</strong>, and <strong>number of Box Tops</strong> <strong>written on a card in the bag</strong>. 5) Place Box Tops in the green box in room B/C. Following these rules will ensure that your student gets the credit for the Box Tops he/she turns in! </span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: black;">Last year we received almost $</span> <span style="color: black;">200.00 from your Box Top collecting – which all went to VOPACT to be used for the wonderful “extras” they do for our students. This year our Valley Oaks Tehachapi goal is $350.00.

If your student is running a fever, or doesn't feel well, please keep them home. We will be encouraging hand washing, and the use of hand sanitizer, while the students are in class, but keeping them home if they are sick would be much appreciated. Also, be sure to send sweaters and jackets (labeled with your child's name!) as our weather in Tehachapi can change drastically from one day to the next.
