Box Tops for EducationTM is a school earnings program that helps our school earn cash to buy the
things we need.
Box Tops are each worth 10¢ for schools and are found on hundreds of products. When students,
families, schools and communities work together to collect Box Tops, the money adds up fast.
To learn more about the Box Tops for EducationTM program and see a list of participating products.
You can submit the box tops you have collected to your teacher or drop them off in a box located in our school office.

Who inspires you? Is it your parents? Is it your teachers? Is it The Avengers? Is it the firefighters that have been working tirelessly to keep us safe? Many use the arts as a way to translate what is meaningful to them. The Reflections Art Program is an annual PTA sponsored program encouraging students to participate in the arts. This year’s theme is “Heroes Around Me.” So, what or who inspires you? Who are YOUR heroes?
All Vista Verde students are invited to participate. Students may submit their artwork, reflecting the 2018-2019 Reflections Art Program theme, in one of six (6) categories: Visual Art (2D & 3D), Photography, Literature, Music Composition, Dance Choreography, and Film Production.
It’s easy to participate:
1. Reflect on this year’s theme: “Heroes Around Me”.
2. Create an original work inspired by the theme.
3. Celebrate your achievements and win prizes!
