Homes Needed for Washington Elementary School’s 17th Annual Tour of Homes!
If you or someone you know is interested (or should be interested) in having your/their home on Washington Elementary School’s Tour of Homes please let me know by either commenting on this post or sending an email to Tour Coordinator, Emily Bridges: emily.r.bridges@gmail.com
The Tour is set for Saturday, May 2. Ideally the homes would be located in the Washington-Willow Historic District or Mt. Sequoyah.
Tour of Homes is a annual fundraiser for Washington Elementary School. Donations go to a variety of projects, including teacher supplies, the Wildcat school garden, kindergarten camp, school events and family connection nights. They also go to the Children's Fund, which helps provide items like backpacks, clothing, and emergency assistance for Washington Elementary students in need.
Tonight is Family Connection Night. It will be Coach Thomas as host and will be PE Night. It will be January 23rd 6-7 pm. See you there!

Box Tops is changing to fit today's families. The new and improved Box Tops mobile app uses state-of-the-art technology to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to your school's earnings online. Eventually the Box Tops program will become digital-only. Participating brands are starting to change their packaging from a traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Top label.
If you see this label, use the new Box Tops app to scan your receipt. Box Tops are still worth 10¢ each for your school. The app will find participating products purchased at any store and instantly add cash to your school's earnings online.
Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing students tomorrow at Washington Elementary! Second semester begins tomorrow! See you then!
School resumes January 9th for students.
Box Tops for Education has made some big changes this past year: they are going digital!
Until the Traditional Box Tops clips are fully phased out, you can still clip and send them to school, but eventually the Box Tops program will become digital-only. Participating brands are starting to change their packaging from a traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Top label that will use the Box Tops mobile app.
Please download the app, follow the steps on the app to sign up, and begin scanning your receipts: earning money for our school.
