Have you been saving Box Tops For Education?

Parkway High 5 is again collecting “Box Tops for Education”. We receive $.10 for every Box Top we collect. These dimes add up quick. Last year you helped earn $1351.31 for Parkway Elementary Students. This week students had the opportunity to have COSI on Wheels at Parkway. Every year High 5 uses the Box Top money to pay for this great science learning event for our kids.

We will have classroom competitions for collecting Box Tops the first week of October, December, February, and April. The class that turns in the most Box Tops will receive a treat. Our first Box Top collection is the week of October 1 – 5th, so keep clipping! See the complete list of products here or check out the Box Tops for Education website.

August 2012 High 5 Meeting

The first Parkway Elementary High 5 meeting will be held tonight at 6:30 in the community room at the school. We will be selecting committees and setting our calendar of events for the year.

Parkway parents, teachers, school staff, grandparents, and community members -people who care about our kids and our school – are all invited to attend. You don’t have to make a yearlong commitment to volunteer with High 5. Help us choose the worthwhile projects High 5 will sponsor this year and decide if you are interested in helping with any of our committees.  

Hope to see you there!

Parkway High 5 Facebook Debut

Parkway High 5 is on Facebook. If you are on Facebook, please look us up and “Like” us!

I’ve seen some of your friend lists with hundreds of Parkway students, parents, grandparents, alumni, and neighbors. With friends like you, we will probably have so many volunteers for the Carnival that we will have standing room only at our March 28th meeting!

Friday, March 25 is Boxtop collection day!

As usual, the class with the most Boxtops for Education turned in will receive a party of their choice. Please bring your clipped Boxtops in by Friday, March 25!

If you haven’t been to the BTFE website lately, they have a new contest. This time 10 lucky schools will win 5,000 Boxtops ($500). You may enter daily from March 13 – March 31, 2011.
