Save Your Campbell's Labels for Education!
Continue to collect the Campbell's Labels for Education over the summer. See what products are eligible here.
Download the collection sheet you need, either the One Point Collection Sheet or the Five Point Collection Sheet. Trim the box tops or labels for education UPC and tape or glue them to the sheet. You can print extra sheets whenever you need them. You can also collect them in a bag, and not attach to a sheet and send them in that way.
Campbell's Labels for Education is a program that helps schools obtain free educational merchandise in exchange for proofs of purchase collected from eligible Campbell brands.
Summer Fun with Box Tops
With so many fun ideas from General Mills’ products, you won’t have time to be bored this summer. Collect Box Tops all summer long by taping or gluing a trimmed Box Top onto this collection sheet (download a new as you need one all summer).
SPECIAL NOTE: A special submission will be sent at the end of the month for any Box Tops that will expire before November, 2010. Please check expiration dates and send your Box Tops in!

Principal's Update
As this year (2009-10) closes, we are already planning many exciting improvements for next year (2010-11). After study by a district team, the purchase of a new core reading series has been approved by the school committee, and we are eager to begin implementation. We will continue to use the Investigations program for math instruction but will be following a scope and sequence that aligns more closely with the Grade Level Expectations put forth by the state.
All year, a team has been working on establishing a system for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. You will hear about how the children will earn dolphin tokens for being respectful, responsible, and ready to learn. These initiatives should further strengthen our instruction and support student learning.
The staff has been working hard on potential class lists for next school year. The focus has been on making equitable classrooms. There are wonderful teachers here at Community, and it is crucial that we focus on making sure that the classes are divided so that the needs of all students can be met the most appropriately. As the summer winds down you will be getting a mailing from school with the information regarding next year's placement.
I wish everyone a happy and healthy summer. Enjoy your time with family and friends; ride bikes, play catch, swim safely and don't forget to spend time crawled up with a good book.
