BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION - It’s time to send box tops to school again for our annual box tops contest!  The rules will be the same this year as last.  One point per box top, two points for each trimmed box top, and a bag of 50 (cut or uncut) is worth an additional 5 points for your classroom.  We will also accept milk lids, and Tyson, but not soup labels.

 

LAGOON FRIGHT MARES - Again this year we have received discount passes to FRIGHT MARES at Lagoon.  Each pass is good for up to 8 people.  If you would like a discount pass please feel free to pick one up in the office.

 

TURN YOUR KEY - BE IDLE FREE - Salt Lake County, the State of Utah, and the State Board of Education have joined forces to combat air pollution generated by idling automobiles, trucks, and buses.  We are asking that drivers turn their engines off when they expect to be waiting in the car for longer than ten seconds.  By turning your engine off when waiting, you will:

$                                  save money by reducing fuel use.

$                                  breathe easier by preventing unhealthy exhaust from building up in and around your car.

$                                  protect blue sky by reducing idling emissions that contribute to smog.

10 seconds of idling uses more fuel than restarting your engine!
