Missouri School Draws Attention to Art
01/01/2006
Box Tops for Education saved the Visual Arts program at our school. Three years ago the Missouri school budget hit a low -- no money for supplies, jobs were lost and field trips were cut out completely. As a result, we were limited to almost nothing for art supplies. Box Tops saved our art program. We were able to buy things that were necessary, and a few things that really got our creative juices flowing!
Our students have a yearly contest to see which individual and which elementary classroom can collect the most Box Tops. The classroom that wins gets a field trip to an art museum! This year has been our biggest collection. Thank you, Box Tops for Education, for putting that creative spark back into our program.
