BOX TOPS AND TYSON CHICKEN LABELS
BOX TOPS AND TYSON CHICKEN LABELS:
A lot of Box Tops will be expiring on June 1, so please drop off what you have by MAY 18, so we can process them and mail off by then.
Also, don’t forget the Project A+ labels on the Tyson chicken bags. I haven’t seen to many of these come through, but they are worth .24 cents each! These can only be processed in groups of 100, so we get a $24.00 check for each submission.
We had a pretty decent year, and will be looking to fund another field trip in the fall. Thank you all for participating.

Chautauqua History
Did you know that Clara Barton (battlefield nurse and founder of the American Red Cross) was so shy as a girl she barely spoke? Of that she spent much of the Civil War on Hilton Head Island? Or that she traveled across SC to identify the dead at Andersonville prison in Georgia? Or that at age 72, she spent 10 months in Beaufort, SC rebuilding the Lowcountry after the devastating 1893 South Sea Island hurricane?
Find out more at this Chautauqua discussion – because its not just history – it’s personal.
