DMS Students: Take A Long Lunch, then Go Shopping

For illustrative purposes only!

Next week, Monday, October 14th, kicks off the DMS PTA's fall collection for Box Tops. 

As incentive to make this the most epic Box Tops drive ever, the grade (6th, 7th, or 8th) that contributes the most clipped Box Tops next week will be awarded an extended lunch. 

And every student who brings in Box Tops next week (of any amount) will also be entered into a drawing to win some amazing gift cards.

So that your donation is attributed to the right student (and grade level), please send your Box Tops in a plastic bag or envelope with your student's name and grade level clearly marked on it.

  

Box Tops Meme of the Week

TLDR: Go to imgflip.com and make your own meme about Box Tops. I am happy to post it on this blog. 

Welcome to our newest feature, the Box Tops meme of the week. This is an invitation for you and your family to design your own memes reflecting your most favorite (or frustrating) experiences with Box Tops.

Here is a seasonal one that someone close to me made for your enjoyment:

Submit your own to be showcased on this blog by e-mailing me at: fred-dot-jorgensen-at-gmail-dot-com. Keep it classy! 

Box Tops is Just a Math Problem

TLDR: Any amount is welcome, but eight (8) is the magic number of Box Tops to send in on October 14th.

Next Monday, October 14, kicks off our fall Box Tops drive. The goal is to raise $500 for the DMS PTA budget to be used exclusively for student enrichment.

As with most things, we can quantify the situation so that it can be broken down into a simple math problem:

• $500 goal = 5,000 clipped Box Tops
• 660 students attending DMS
• 5,000 Box Tops / 660 students = 8 Box Tops per student

Not so bad, right? Be part of the winning solution - send in at least eight (8) Box Tops with your student(s) next Monday, October 14th.

Now of course there is some slippage in the above math due to different shopping habits, awareness of the Box Tops program, or outright lack of concern for enhancing our the learning experience of DMS' student body. 😞 

No problem. Just send in extra Box Tops! Adopt an imaginary DMS student and send in 16 Box Tops. Or better yet, adopt seven imaginary DMS students and and send in 64 Box Tops. Prizes to the student with the biggest DMS family!
