CAMPBELL’S LABELS<br />
When clipping and saving the labels, please be sure to include the whole UPC, not just the part that has a point value<br />
to it. Thank you!<br />
LET THE GAMES CONTINUE!<br />
For <strong>September</strong>, the count was so close, per student, for two classes for the BoxTop$ for Education, so both the Pre-<br />
<strong>School</strong>/Kindergarten class and the 5th/6th graders were considered as winners. The Pre-<strong>School</strong>/ Kindergarten class<br />
won the Spartan UPC count, and the 1st/2nd grade class won for the Labels for Education. The 3rd/4th graders<br />
received honorable mention as their counts were good this month, too. Keep bringing in EVERYTHING that will help<br />
BCCS! Thank you for your help.
