BoxTops       BoxTops      BoxTops

 

We are collecting BoxTops4Education - our next date to send in BoxTops is October 31 so please bring as many as you, your neighbors, relatives and friends from other schools can collect!  There is a light blue collection box in the counselors office area on the bookshelves.  We also need all parents to go to the BoxTops4Education.com website and register as a Classen SAS parent.  We get $ .50 for everyone who registers - that could add up to a lot of money quickly and cost you nothing!

 

We do NOT collect Campbell soup labels.  Someone has turned several in - if you would like them back to donate to another school you can email me at lpatterson8@cox.net or I will donate them to Cleveland Elementary.  We have several students from that school!  Thank You for all your support of this program!

 

    **Please Help Our Teachers**

                      Please volunteer for one of the remaining teachers still without a liaison!!!

 

If you can commit to at least 1 hour a week – please consider becoming a liaison.  Your responsibilities would be consistent contact with the teacher, helping them acquire their wish list via group email lists, be a member of PTSA and make yourself available to other parents when need be.  We are all very busy, but our teachers give each one of our children so much of themselves; it is important for us to give back to them. 

 

Please do not leave these remaining teachers without a liaison – please volunteer now!!

 

1.    Mr. James Warner – teaches High School History / Social Studies

2.    Mr. Richard Young – teaches High School Math

3.    Mr. Fred Boudreau – teaches Psychology

4.    Ms. Shannon Pickens / Ms. Neva Waters – teach Spanish

5.    Ms. Anna Dalton / Ms. Mary Cory - the Piano Department – needs a co-chair to help Ken Wickham

6.    Ms. Belinda Georgia / Mr. Jason Pickard – teach Special Education

7.    Ms. Pat Martinez – teaches in Special Services

 

Please contact Christi Hill-Savage at Christi@Swatokc.com with your name, phone number and teacher choice.
