January Box Top Contest
Hedgcoxe is holding a contest to see whose class can bring in the most Box Tops and Labels for Education. Box Tops and Labels for Education are a great way to support our school. A few important points for you and your student:
- Contest is January 24-29th.
- Don't forget to ask your friends, neighbors, grandparents and family to see if they have Box Tops of Labels for Education to give to the school. Remind them that each Box Top is worth 10 cents for the school.
- A hot chocolate party will be given to the class in each grade level who brings in the most Box Tops or Labels for Education.
- You may use collection sheets, baggies or envelopes to send in your Box Tops or Labels for Education. A collection sheet is attached or a link to a website is below. Please just send them in any way you are able! Label them with your teacher's name!
- The last day to submit your Box Tops or Labels for Education to be counted is Friday January 29th.
Box Tops is such an easy way to help out our school. Every little bit helps! And, Hedgcoxe appreciates your support!
Best,
