Box Tops for Education
So far this year we have collected over 1000 Box Tops! Box Tops is such an easy way for parents to get involved in their child’s education. Just by purchasing Box Tops products, clipping the coupons and sending them into school, we earn cash that can be used to buy anything we need. You can find Box Tops on thousands of your favorite products, and every Box Top that is donated benefits your child's education.

We've done a great job so far this year, but we still need your help. Please continue to buy products with the Box Tops logo and turning in the coupons to help us earn much needed funds towards your child's education. Once you have collected 10 Box Top coupons, please have your child turn them in to Mrs. Lewis in Room 148, then continue collecting until you earn 10 more. If every student brought in just 10 Box Tops, we could collect over 5000 for the year. This would go a long way towards much needed materials that befenit your child's education.
