BOX TOPS SUCCESS!
A huge THANK YOU to all Montgomery families who participated in the Box Tops March Madness challenge! Congratulations to Mr. Maxwell's 4th grade class!! They won the "Clip-It" trophy, a class party, and have been crowned Box Tops Champions. As a community, over 7,650 individual Box Tops were clipped and submitted. This is a school record! We raised $798.80 for Montgomery Elementary! A special thank you goes to Mrs. Bass for sharing her wonderful idea for March Madness. Keep collecting those Box Tops because every one counts!
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The Make A Difference Committee is sponsoring an after-school service activity on Monday, March 19, beginning at 3:45 on the stage. We will be making Take-Away snack bags for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House, near Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. The bags are meant for the families of the hospitalized child so that instead of heading to the cafeteria or vending machine, they can stay near their child's bedside. For more information and to volunteer time and resources, please follow this link to the Sign-Up Genius. You must be registered in order to participate.

Yearbook needs pictures from your field trip, class room parties or any kind of fun that you have had in the classroom. These are great memories for the kids to have in the yearbook. Please share these photos with me. Three ways to share.

2. Upload your photos on the Yearbook page, community.lifetouch.com using the access code , OKHKYN.
