Box Tops

Chairperson: Lisa Ferguson

The Box Tops "Committee" periodically collects the Box Tops that have been dropped off at TJ and Mount Daniel, counts them, collates them, and sends them in, in exchange for the Box Tops for Education contribution to the elementary schools.

General Mills Box Tops can be turned in at both Mount Daniel and TJ. There is a box in the lobby of Mount Daniel and by the school store (near the library) at TJ where you or your child can drop them off. The school receives 10 cents for every box top. It may not seem like much but it really adds up quickly. When you send in your box tops please check the expiration date. We cannot redeem box tops that have expired or that the expiration date is not legible. It really helps if you cut the box top from the carton. When we are counting them the most time consuming part is trimming the excess from the box top label in order to bundle them to send them back to General Mills. So cut out and send in those box tops even if you only have a few, every one counts.

Go to www.boxtops4education.com for information and to sign up for the Box Top Booster Club where you can get 5 bonus box tops, coupons for General Mills products and recipes.

Just a note about Campbell's Soup Labels, currently Falls Church Elementary PTA does not participate in this program so please do not send in soup labels with your box tops.

The OM committee is responsible for coordinating the OM program for TJ
Elementary. The time line for the OM work starts in September and lasts
until the competition date in mid March. The responsibilities include
speaking to the students about the OM program as well as speaking to
interested parents. The committee also coordinates the creation of all
the teams, making sure each team has a coach and judge, and assigns a
problem to each team. The committee provides information on OM such as
coaches and judges training dates, the OM newsletter, and answers
general questions about the program and the process. The committee also
registers all the teams and provides the teams with the necessary
paperwork to enter the competition. Lastly, the committee provides
support and guidance to the coaches throughout the OM season as needed.

This program provides a variety of learning opportunities for our students outdoors. Parent volunteers at both schools lead pre-established lessons and activities, mostly related to science, math, and gardening/nature; help implement the master schoolyard plans; and pitch in during weekend work parties in the gardens. At TJ, we are seeking classroom coordinators and volunteers at all grade levels, as well as parents willing to donate time or expertise outside the classroom on several ongoing development projects.
