Got Box Tops????

It is time to turn in all those Box Tops you have been collecting over the summer.

We are kicking off the school year with a Box Top contest.  The top two students

in the school who bring in the most Box Tops will each receive a $25 gift card

to the place of their choice.  The contest will end on Friday, October 25.  Please

make sure your Box Tops are cut on the dotted line and are not expired.  Using

a snack size Ziploc bag, place no more than 50 Box Tops in each bag.  If you have

multiple bags, place all the snack size bags in a larger Ziploc bag.  Don’t forget to

include your child’s name and teacher’s name on the bag.  Turn the Box Tops in

as you get them, and we will keep track of your total for you.  Remember to ask

friends and relatives to save their Box Tops.

Good luck and happy clipping!
