News from Sustainable Fundraising



The results are tallied, and City School did an awesome job!  All together, we collected over 4,000 points in Box Tops for Education and Labels for Education!  Five Learning Communities collected over 500 - well done!  As a school, we submitted over $2,000 worth of Box Tops alone in the 2013-14 school year.
Thank you for your support!  Please remember to clip and collect Box Tops all summer long!

Walking Challenge Results - Final Week



There were some interesting results last week.  Team Discovery out"walked" all other teams, including Incredibles.  So Team Discovery gets to have the Golden Shoe award for the Week.  Some other teams also put in notable miles (Bright Beginnings, Voyagers, Incredibles and Travelers) in spite of experiencing rainy weather.  Last week field trips and other happenings got in the way of the walking contest, resulting in a few teams with reduced numbers.

Everyone should be proud of the 29,115 miles we walked (biked) as a school.  Really, really impressive!!!

Because Incredibles were so dominant with their overall contest total, they will get to hang on to the Golden Shoe award during the next school year until the next contest.

Thank you everyone for participating.
