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. As an incentive we will be having a class contest. The class bringing in the most Box Tops at the end of this promotion will receive a “prize”. We will post class totals monthly in the Elementary Office window.
Please hand in your trimmed Box Tops in a Ziploc bag or envelope, labeled with your child’s/teacher’s name and the amount of Box Tops to your teacher. Every Friday the student bringing in the most for the week from each class will get to choose something from the Treasure Box in the Elementary Office.
You can find a list of Box Tops online at: www.boxtops4education.com.
