" Box Tops for Education"


Students at C. L. Salter are collecting box tops, and the proceeds will go toward some project that benefits the students. Bar graphs in the hallway reveal the number collected by each homeroom. This competition between classes motivates students to bring in their special collections each Friday. The winning class receives special treats each week, as well as students who bring in 20 or more box tops.


Each box top is worth ten cents, and General Mills donates the money to schools participating in the event. Since the beginning of this school year, Salter students have collected over 5,000 box tops.


The winning class for 2008-2009 wins a pizza party. Second and third places enjoy ice cream. Coordinator for this project is fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Ensley. She, along with the principal and staff, encourage students and parents to keep collecting these box tops.
