Box Tops:
                      
Thank you to everyone for participating in the program.  Keep on clipping.  Please send in all of
your box tops by February 15th.   Last fall a group of volunteers enjoyed coffee, refreshments and
socializing while counting over 2,800 box tops.  This amount earned the school $288.40. Volunteers
are needed once again Feb. 19th, 20th or 21st from 8:30-9:30 or 1-2 pm.  The day that is most
popular will be the day of the count.  If you can help out please contact Angela Sawyer at
296-1956 or aasawyer6 at aol.com 




YEARBOOKS
                      
If you have not placed your order for a yearbook it's not too late.  Send in cash or check made
out to the MLS PTO for $18.00 in an envelope.  Please include your child's name and teacher.  A
list of families that have already purchased books is posted on the PTO bulletin board in the
front hall at school.   We ran out of books last year and based on numbers ordered so far we will
be ordering fewer books this year.  Don't delay; order today.  Questions: call Angela Sawyer
296-1956.
