Re: OT: Your help is needed - longish




We save them for our Ash's class.
Don't forget that ziploc bags, scott tissue, kleenex, hefty kitchen
bags and suchlike count too.
Here is a product list again, sorted by type of product, for anyone
who has trouble with a pdf:

Except for the odd box of cereal as a treat, we don't get hardly any
of the foods either. Ziplocs, kleenex, and trash bags, those we buy,
and they work too.

I save mine and send to the Red Bird Mission here in Kentucky but
would be happy to send to you for this need. Red Bird, the last time I
checked was actually the number one submitters of them. I need a
reminder to save them during the year though so I don't send them off
to Red Bird. I don't often have very many because I just do not use
prepared food much in my house. Cereal is about the only place I get
them. We don't use the dinners they come on, I have seen them but
like I said I don't use those products and also I don't buy frozen
veggies very much because I cook fresh if I can get them. I am not
sure just what all products they are on, I just clip them when I
notice them.

But please send me your snail mail address.

During the school year, the classes have a contest to collect the Box
Tops for Education emblems that appear on a lot of food and non-food
products from General Mills. The class that collects the most wins a
pizza party and an ice cream party from the PTA. Two runners up get
ice cream parties.

We have in our school a Special Needs class with only 8 students.
These students have moderate cognitive impairments (IQs in the 45 - 65
range). Every year before this, they were named as one of the runners
up - in fact that is why they originally had 2 runners up instead of
one. With only 8 students it is hard for them to compete with classes
of 25 students.

This year, the PTA decided that it wasn't fair to the other classes
and decided not to award the Special Needs class runner-up status. The
children were not aware enough to really understand this and think
that they forgot to put the picture up. Some of us teachers have since
put their picture up also. Some of us (note: not all, which is a whole
other story) have also contributed to provide the party for this
class. The classroom teacher and aides were going to do it themselves,
but we wanted to make a stand and let the rest of the building know
how we felt.

Next year, we will be providing box tops we personally collect for
this class instead of our own.

If you purchase General Mills products with the BOXTOPS for EDUCATION
logo on them and don't use them to support your classes, I would
appreciate it if you could send them to me. Next school year, I want
this class to win! I am in the directory or email me at:
