This site is also great to share your pictures with other Miami parents. Our goal is to receive as many pictures from all of you so that we can try and get all the kids in the yearbook this year. Stay tuned for more updates in the future. Any questions may be sent to our email address below. E-mail Address is: miamiyearbook@hotmail.com Shutterfly Web Link is: http://miamiptopictures.shutterfly.com/ Facebook ~ Miami has set up a group for our Miami families.

Just support your school by purchasing products that you already use.......... Box Tops for Education ~ Be sure to clip those 'BOX TOPS' from all General Mills products. Each Box Top is worth 10 cents for Miami Elementary!! For a complete product list, visit www.boxtops4education.com Labels for Education ~ Please clip UPC labels from Campbell's products for the Labels for Education program. (The front of the label is no longer accepted, please clip ONLY the UPC) Visit www.labelsforeducation.com Please remember to clip the UPC product codes from the eligible product list in this newsletter. It would be greatly appreciated if you trimmed all labels to only include the UPC code from each product. They can be deposited in the collection bin located in the lobby. In past years we have used these points to purchase items for classrooms to use at recess. It may only seem like 1 point, but they add up quickly!! Additional Information.........
