Box Tops Labels - Clip Box Top Labels and send them into your child’s classroom. Our school will receive 10¢ for each Box Top Label.
Each month the classroom with the most Box Tops will get to keep “Mr. Wilson” the Bulldog in their classroom for the next month. Each year,
GVHSA uses the money earned from Box Tops to sponsor an Artist In Residence. In 2014, nationally known author, Ted Arnold, author of Fly Guy series came to our school to speak with students and autograph books. Last year, we sponsored an assembly performance on Hip Hop Fundamentals by Young Audiences Arts for Learning. In 2016, author Daryl Cobb visited our school on May 16, 2016. Last year, we have earned $2023 from Box Tops.
ShoeBox Recycling Fundraiser—Start cleaning out your closets to support the Green Valley HSA! We will be collecting gently worn men’s, women’s, and kids’ shoes as a fundraiser throughout the school year. The donated shoes will be sent to the ShoeBox Recycling Company for reuse and resale in areas where affordable options are needed. Green Valley will then receive a finan-
cial return for every 40 lb. box of shoes that is sent in. A collection box will be kept inside the front doors next to the lost and found throughout the school year. Clean out your closets and support your school at the same time! Last year we received $162 for our school.
