THE 8TH GRADE LONGHORN LEADER GROUP IS RAISING MONEY ON BEHALF OF THE ASCENSION CLASS OF 2022!
As a way for the 8th grade class to “leave their mark” here at Ascension, they will be collecting donations to raise money for a new gaga pit for the future students of Ascension. All donations will go towards the new gaga pit and any extra money raised will go to a charity of the 8th Grade’s choice! Our goal is $1000 and construction of the gaga pit will begin over the summer.

But wait, there’s more! For every $100 reached, a different teacher will be pied at an end of the year celebration! Please bring in your money to the office for Ms. Hoehler to collect by Friday May 20th.

Get your throwing arms ready to throw some pies and play some gaga ball!

ACE DAY

We are also looking for parent volunteers to help on this day. They will be needed to help assist presenters, supervise students, help students and presenters find their sessions. If you are able to help, please sign up,

BOX TOPS COLLECTION
Did you know that Ascension is a Box Tops school? During this challenging time, our teachers and students need more help than ever. No matter what school looks like, Box Tops for Education is a fast and easy way for you to help out from home.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Buy participating products and use the Box Tops mobile app to scan your store receipt. The app identifies eligible products and automatically adds Box Tops to your school’s earnings online. Even if you’re shopping online or doing grocery pickup, you can still submit your e-receipts and earn Box Tops. Twice a year, our school gets a check!

The PTO uses money earned from Box Tops to fund our iPad program and other classroom needs for our students!

Here’s how YOU can help earn money for our school!
• DOWNLOAD the Box Tops app and select our school to support. This ensures that your Box Tops purchases count toward our school’s earnings.
• SHOP for Box Tops products and use the app to scan your receipt to add to our school’s earnings online.
• LOOK for any remaining Box Tops clips on packages. If you find some, clip them and send them to school!
• SPREAD THE WORD about Box Tops!
FUN TIP: You can also use the “Invite Friends” feature in the app to ask friends and family to help support our school!

Your earnings may seem small, but they really do add up. The more people that participate, the bigger the impact we can make. So let’s give our teachers the support they need and help give more kids the opportunity to dream. Little by little, we can help make a BIG difference.
