Who was it that was looking for the "box top" points for their special ed class?? Maybe they could post a reminder for those of us who have forgotten or the new people who have join the group.
Critter Comforts: Quilts for Homeless Animals
Ditto me on that request.
Is this the request?
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: witchystitcheratyahoodotcom Linda PATCHogue, NY
Wow - that's weird, I was going to post the same message. I think it should get posted at least once a month, so we don't forget. I have a few here, but I think I threw one away the other day.
Thank you. I just posted a reminder. Thanks for the reminder to post a reminder. LOL
