We donated a new Box Tops collection container!

At the last PTO meeting I went to, the principal mentioned that the current Box Tops display was getting a little ragged and needed to be fixed again. The Box Tops coordinator said she had tried to find a replacement but the company no longer offers them for sale. I immediately got the idea to see if we (me and Tom) could fix it—like maybe Tom could build the same thing but out of wood to make it more sturdy…

But once I got home and dove into Pinterest, I had better ideas! Once I got the okay from the principal and we actually decided what we were doing, it didn’t take too long. We ordered a mailbox from Amazon and Tom used wood that we already had…and this was born.

Once Tom got it painted and I got done designing the sticker and logo placements (a chore in itself considering how anal I am about this stuff and how perfect I wanted it to be), it looked damn good if I do say so myself.

So this morning I delivered it to the school. 

And here it is right when you walk in the school. πŸ™‚

So now there will be a small part of our family at Halley for many years to come, even after we’re gone. πŸ™‚
