General Science class
From Sue Cerrillo:
I would like to borrow some spring scales for our General Science class next week at Kid’s Life. I am needing about 10-13 if possible.
If you would have some in your supplies at home (or in a fishing tackle box) that you wouldn’t mind letting me use, please let me know at sue.cerrillo.201@gmail.com
I will get them back to you after the class next Wednesday.
Thanks so much.
Sue

BOX TOP INFORMATION
From Sharon Cox:
In case you didn’t know, CBCCA has 3 ways to earn money for our homeschooling group. The first is Box tops for Education where each Box Top is worth 10 cents. The more that you clip and turn in, the more $$$ we get.
The second is through Project A+ with Tyson Chicken labels. These are worth 24 cents each.
The third way is through Labels for Education, where we don’t earn cash but earn points to purchase things from their catalog.
Please clip and turn them in to the Resource room located in the Children’s building.
Here are the websites so that you can see what products qualify:

http://www.labelsforeducation.com/Earn-Points/Participating-Products
You’re probably wondering what this money is used for?? The answer is: field trips (entrance fees for students), physical fitness supplies for the Presidential program, lab equipment and supplies for CBCCA sponsored classes, etc.
Thank you for your participation, and watch this blog for important dates.
