GCA free money: boxtops for cash
	Look for the boxtop logo on products around your house or at the store.  The logo can be found on foods, paper products, cleaning products... It could be on a cardboard box or on the label of a glass jar or on the plastic lid of an egg carton or butter tub.  They are worth looking for because they are worth money to Gordon School!  We can send them in to the boxtop folks and get ten cents for every one that we send in.  As a community, we can put together a lot of boxtops... which is a lot of dimes... which can go a long way to get us things we need for our school.   So here is what you do:  Find boxtops on things around your house or next time you are shopping with your folks.  Once you are done using the product, before you recycle the packaging cut the boxtop off in a safe way and keep it along with the others you have collected.  You can keep them in a baggie and then deposit them in the big glass cabinet in the front of the activity room.  Or you can tape or glue them to the papers I handed out today which can be put on the frig for easy reminding.  Once you have collected a bunch, bring them in.  Put them in the big glass cabinet however they fit...neatness does not count! Kids can collect between now and the end of the year.  AND they can continue collecting over the summer.     The website is: www.boxtops4education.com
