Box Tops Competition
Well Done on another great week in our competition, City School Community! There seemed to be a slow down in the momentum in Week 5, but we still collected 424 Box Tops!
Here is the competition breakdown by Learning Community:
Now here is your math challenge: Our leading team (Bright Beginnings) has collected 1,590 Box Tops. The next closest team (Investigators) has collected 1,232 Box Tops. How many Box Tops do the Investigators need to collect in the 6th and final week of the competition to take the lead?
Keep clipping those Box Tops and good luck to all communities. Everyone is doing a great job supporting this school-wide sustainable fundraising effort. Remember, this is the last week to collect for the contest! But don't forget about our contest within the contest:
