The BoxTops Contest is underway!! Our 2nd count will take place on Tuesday, January 24, 2017. We will post the class totals the next day. So please send in all box tops. This year, our goal is to raise $1,000 for our school. We will be counting each classroom's Box Tops again. Here is how it works: Box Tops are "FREE MONEY" for our school. Each Boxtop is worth $.10 and that really adds up. Look in your pantry for items that have the little pink BoxTop, cut it out, save them, and send them in every few weeks with your teacher's name on the bag. Feel free to count them and write the total on the bag, if you choose.
There is now a BoxTops Mailbox is every classroom. However, can please still write your teachers name on the box tops. Any class that totals 1000 boxtops or more will be able to participate in our end of the year BoxTops celebration! Friends, family and neighbors can collect for you too!
If you go to the Box Tops for Education website, you will be able to see a full list of products that have boxtops.
