Box Tops: National Box Tops Week
National Box Tops Week is coming – September 17th - 23rd. Let’s ‘Stuff the Box’ and kick our new school year Box Tops collections into high gear!
Start collecting your Box Tops NOW! Ask friends, family members and neighbors to collect for you, too. Each Box Top is worth 10 cents for our school.
Then, during National Box Tops Week, place your clipping sheets (attached below) or bags (marked with your teacher's name!) of Box Tops into the mail boxes located by the front office. You can also send them to your child’s teacher to place in the large collection box in the mail room. Additional collection sheets are also available at the front office mail box location.
Our first classroom winners for collecting the most Box Tops will also be awarded at the end of this collection drive. Thank you for supporting Box Tops.
