Box Tops for Education

This year we will again be participating in the Box Tops for Education fundraiser. Each Box Top collected is worth cash for our school. There will also be a treat for the class that has collected the most boxtops at the end of the promotion.

Please hand in your trimmed Box Tops in a Ziploc bag or envelope, labeled with your child’s name and their teacher’s name. Also write the amount of Box Tops you are turning in on the same bag or envelope. You can turn them into your teacher or school office. Every Friday will be collection day. The student in each class with the most box tops will get to pick a prize from the “Treasure Box”

You can find a list of Box Tops online at: www.boxtops4education.com.

Thank you for your support.
