Also discussed were opportunities to help with our other fundraiser, Spiritwear Sales!  If you are interested in helping with the sale of Spiritwear at any of the MJH sporting events or school functions, please watch for signups that will be distributed by the PTO Volunteer Coordinators!  Don't forget to purchase your school spirit gear and support our PTO!

Our Box Tops Coordinator, Jennifer LeBlanc, discussed some awesome opportunities for our students and staff to get excited about box tops collection this year!  Watch for news on contests going on this year to help raise money for our campus.  With the 20th anniversary of the Box Tops program, HEB, Sams Club and Walmart are offering special promotions so please save those BOX TOPS!!
