Box Tops for Education
Posted by Ryan Weston in Fundraiser Sunday, 14 October 2012 20:33 No Comments
The Arbon Elementary School has just submitted box tops for this year. We are pleased to update you on the progress for the first 6 weeks. There was a total of 1750 box tops and 44 bonus box tops submitted, for a total of $179.40 for our first submission. This puts us one fifth of the way to our goal of $1000.00.
Don’t forget a great way you can help is to log onto their web sight at www.boxtops4education.com and set up your account today. When you are set up, you can track the progress of our school, and play games to earn points. For those online shoppers, there are tons of online stores linked with box tops. If you enter the other stores through the box tops web sight then your purchase will automatically send points to the school. No extra work, just one extra click and you can help a lot!
The next submission deadline will be Feb. 1st. That may sound like a long way away, but it will be upon us before you know it! Please help us by collecting the box tops on the hundreds of products out there (not just cereal boxes). This will greatly help us make much needed repairs and updates to the school.
Thanks again for your help and keep up the great work!

Earth Day
Posted by Ryan Weston in Arbon School Sunday, 6 May 2012 20:00 No Comments
As a tribute to our Mother Earth, the Arbon Elementary School decided to do something great for our community for Earth Day.  On a beautiful sunny afternoon, the kids took a two mile journey (a mile down and a mile back), from the school to the post office picking up any and all litter on the sides of the highway. If you ever want to see some energy… follow along for this adventure! Ears were talked off… jokes were told… and of course as you can see by the photo, there was a lot of garbage picked up! It is amazing at how much litter can be in such a short distance! The running thing was, that those at the end, if there were any pieces of garbage found that was missed by the other kids, then they were owed a candy bar. I lost count on who had what tally, but it was kind of funny!
After picking up litter along the highway, the kids returned to the school… not for treats or snacks or some great reward, but to do more work! Yes, they created some flower beds by arranging bricks kept from the old cottage and filling it with dirt. Then they planted flowers of different kinds and some herbs. In the end, they did get to have some play time on the playground. Surprisingly to burn off some more energy!
I felt that it is important to post this article and give a great big THANK YOU to our Arbon Elementary School teachers, aids, and students for their great work on helping to better our community! It looks great!
