During the school year, I will be encouraging students and families to cut, collect, and bring to school Box Tops, as well as UPC codes from Campbell’s products.  Jacobson Elementary uses the labels to purchase 

Thank you for returning homework the following day.  On any given day, a student may receive DoJo points for homework.  I have sent home DoJo information and have everyone who has shared an e-mail address connected.
