To
share ideas or ask questions:
merriamcampfair@aol.com Thank you! Thank you to all
who have been diligently sending in your Box Tops for Education labels and
Donelan’s cash register receipts! We are well on our way to having an
excellent fundraising total for this school year. Remember that these
small efforts on your part translate into valuable, FREE educational
equipment and supplies for Merriam. So keep up the good work!
Just as a
reminder, there are two boxes in the school office to collect the Box Tops
and receipts. You can send them in at any time during the school year.
Please note that only Donelan’s receipts dated September 1, 2011, to March
31, 2012, will be eligible for this program. As in previous
years, your participation in the Donelan’s program entitles you to enter a
sweepstakes to win $500 in free groceries (for Mom and Dad) and an iPod
Shuffle (for students)! It’s Donelan’s way of saying thank you for helping
it enhance the education of its customers’ children.
All you have to
do is fill out the entry form that will come home in your child's Friday
school paperwork packet send it back to school with your receipts by
January 15, 2012. You’ll find the contest rules at
http://www.shoppercredit.com/shoppercontest. If you have any
questions, contact Sandy Cummings at sbcummings1@verizon.net.
The
Acton Boxborough Parent Involvement Project will be hosting the annual
Family Math Game night at the Sargent Memorial Library in Boxborough on
Thursday January 19, from 5pm to 8pm. AB PIP STEM hosts a range of
education enrichment events in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
(STEM). Family Math Game Night features Domino Math Games, KenKen and
Sudoku. Village Art will also be there with a craft activity connecting
math and art. New this year is Legos! Come build from our plentiful supply
of Legos. MIT-Lincoln Labs will be presenting a robotics
demonstration. If
