BOX TOPS Turn in Box Tops by Wed, Nov 30

and the class with the most will get a

donut party!

Boon earns money every time you travel, shop and save 50-90%!!! It's quite simple

Here's how it works in 3 simple steps:

Boonster Update

We are still accepting contributions to

our Boonster Fundraising Campaign!

Students and Parents, take pride and ownership in

building our school and its resources by doing your

part. If everyone pitches in we can make a difference.

With the recent State education cuts our support

through contributions is essential. This year’s

Boonster goal is $40,000. No donation is too big or

too small. Last year’s Boonster program contributed

over $20,000 in gifts to Boon Elementary.

Together we can do great things!

Get ready to share your talents at the

2012 Boon Talent Show

The date has been set for

Friday, May 18 at 6:30pm.

Rehearsals will be on

Thursday, May 17 at 6:30pm.

We are in need of committee mem-

bers willing to help organize, pre-

pare, and put this show on.

If you are interested, please contact Inga Sanford:

[email protected]

Looking forward to a great show!

Facebook: Boon PTA

Many parents consider Facebook to be a great

communication tool. Be sure and look us up and us at

Boon PTA.

Parent Tip:

Silence is Golden. When you feel you are

about to react negatively towards your child’s behavior, step back and take a

breath. Your response will end up being kinder, gentler and more appropriate.

Boon Elementary

Environmental Tip of the Week

Where can I recycle my old television?

Take it to any Best Buy store! For TVs too large

to bring in, they also offer a pick-up service.
