TEACHER CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Throughout the years, Ascension parents have helped make Christmas gifting for our teachers a little easier. This year, we will continue the tradition of simplifying the gifting process for our teachers and staff.
THIS IS COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY! Contributing is EASY!
Send in cash or check in an envelope marked for Christmas collection. Checks must be made payable to Julie Simms or Abby Simon. Venmo information is @abby-simon-04 or @julie-simms-2
Make sure you include the name(s) of your child(ren). We will be distributing the Christmas gift with a note including the names of families who donated.
Things to keep in mind:
Ascension teachers are the best around!
Your child is inspired by all the people in the building (Music, Library, Office, Cafeteria, Maintenance, etc)

BOX TOPS COLLECTION
Did you know that Ascension is a Box Tops school? During this challenging time, our teachers and students need more help than ever. No matter what school looks like, Box Tops for Education is a fast and easy way for you to help out from home.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Buy participating products and use the Box Tops mobile app to scan your store receipt. The app identifies eligible products and automatically adds Box Tops to your school’s earnings online. Even if you’re shopping online or doing grocery pickup, you can still submit your e-receipts and earn Box Tops. Twice a year, our school gets a check!
The PTO uses money earned from Box Tops to fund our iPad program and other classroom needs for our students!
Here’s how YOU can help earn money for our school!
• DOWNLOAD the Box Tops app and select our school to support. This ensures that your Box Tops purchases count toward our school’s earnings.
• SHOP for Box Tops products and use the app to scan your receipt to add to our school’s earnings online.
• LOOK for any remaining Box Tops clips on packages. If you find some, clip them and send them to school!
• SPREAD THE WORD about Box Tops!
FUN TIP: You can also use the “Invite Friends” feature in the app to ask friends and family to help support our school!
Your earnings may seem small, but they really do add up. The more people that participate, the bigger the impact we can make. So let’s give our teachers the support they need and help give more kids the opportunity to dream. Little by little, we can help make a BIG difference.
