Box Tops for Education - 2011 Information

The following is information about the 2011-2012 Box Tops program at Munson and the Grade School. If you have any questions regarding the Box Tops program or rewards please contact TAPE at MulvaneBoxTops@yahoo.com

We apologize that the image isn't large enough to read clearly (if anyone knows of a better way to post fliers or newsletters, please let us know!). If you don't have a way to open the picture and make it larger there are copies of this flier in the entry way of each school.

Wildcat T-Shirt Sales

This round of t-shirt orders has come to an end (orders were due on the 2nd). THANK YOU to everyone who placed an order. T-shirts that were ordered will be sent home with your student during the very first part of October.

This is not a fund raiser for TAPE

but it is a great boost to school pride!

Remember to have your kiddos wear their t-shirts

(and spirit sleeves!) on Fridays.

There will be one more chance to order shirts, hoodies and spirit sleeves later this Fall (those orders will be in before winter break - great for Holiday gifts!).

Go Wildcats!

September Meeting

Our first meeting of the year is coming up!

Thursday September 1st at 6:30pm

Munson Primary Library

We have so many wonderful things coming up! Please join us. And while you're there, why not drop off your 2011 membership form? We look forward to seeing you all again this year!

T-Shirts, Window Display and OSD Float

2011 Wildcat T-Shirt:

.

First up, a sneak peak at this year's T-Shirt design!! This is Emily, she is "modeling" a short sleeve tee paired with the child sized "Spirit Sleeves".

.

These are white and green striped sleeves (for all of us 80's lovers, think leg warmers for your arms) that tuck up underneath your short sleeve tee. You can wear them with any tee so they will last from year to year, any Mulvane team or activity. You can even wear them on your legs if you want to rock them retro style. The order form lists two sizes, the 16 inch are typically for adults. They are longer and open wider (for bigger arms). The 13 inch are for kids. Here's a pic of the back of the t-shirt. This is the "Pink" option:
.

.

The "white" option has white everywhere there is pink on this shirt. This little model is also wearing the spirit sleeves in the small size. To give you an idea of size, she's 7 and about a size 7 in clothes.

.

OLD SETTLER'S DAYS:

.

Did you see our window display and float at Old Settler's Days?? If not, here's a few shots:

.

.

The window display was made up of school supplies!! Here's a close up of that amazing rainbow:
.

.

And here's the text on the "school house" (which lists some of the activities the TAPE organizes and/or helps with each year):
.

.

Finally, our parade float:
.

.

We gave out ONE THOUSAND popsicles!! Thank you to everyone who smiled, waved and cheered!!

Have questions about being a room parent? Need more ideas/resources? Contact TAPE at mulvanetape@yahoo.com or post your questions on our Facebook page (just search "Mulvane Tape" in the box at the top of your Facebook screen).

Breakfast Buddies

Breakfast Buddies: there has been some confusion caused by the event posted on Facebook that was deleted but is still showing up. Sorry! We decided at the last meeting to postpone these events (for both MGS and MPS) until further notice. I deleted the events the evening of the meeting but they were still showing up! So we deleted/cancelled them again earlier this week. We sincerely hope there is no inconvenience to anyone.

As a final clarification: we are NOT having Breakfast Buddies tomorrow OR next Friday. We will be talking about the possibility of rescheduling at our regular meeting next Thursday evening. Please spread the word to your friends and send them our apologies for the confusion!! Sometimes technology isn't so handy... :)
