St. Clare Walker Middle School honored Mr. John Henry St. Clare Walker by celebrating his 140th birthday today, January 22. During a schoolwide assembly, we recognized essay winners, Hailey Pettyjohn (6th grade), Lillian Ranger (7th grade), and Riley Depping (8th grade). Last week, students were given the prompt, Why do we honor John Henry St. Clare Walker in the name of our school? How might his contributions in the past impact the future? What can each of us do to advance his legacy? After reviewing over 200 essays, the winners were chosen. Winners received a $50 Barnes and Noble gift card and a large candy bar. All students received cupcakes at lunch.

Hello Seahawk families,
We are reaching out to show you how Box Tops can help give our students what they need to succeed.
It's easy! Here's how it works:
Buy Box Tops products. With thousands of participating products, there are lots of chances to earn!
Scan your receipt with the Box Tops app within 14 days of purchase and automatically earn for Sample Elementary School with every Box Tops product you buy.
If you shop online, you can earn with your digital or email receipt, too. See how to submit those receipts here.
Our goal is to earn $1,000 through Box Tops this year to help purchase supplies for our school. We are currently 25% of the way there!
Remember, you can earn a bonus for our school by referring your friends, family and other parents at St. Clare Walker Middle School to sign up for Box Tops. You'll both earn a bonus when they scan their first receipt with the Box Tops app.
Every Box Tops product counts towards our goal. Let's make a difference together. We can do this!
