Box Tops Announcements: Mrs. Kozhin, our Box Tops Chair Parent, has been working with the company and their app to
address the point values for each class in each grade level. The company is still accumulating our points/receipts and we’re
being counted for raising money for the receipts turned in. However, the company has advised us not to do a grade level
competition until they get their engineering department to fix the scoring/tally issue. Our school is doing great with ROO
points, please keep scanning your receipts and submitting them as you shop!
