Spring Box Tops Collection Continues!
Keep on clipping, scanning and bundling those Box Tops! Our Spring contest is in full swing and we are aiming to surpass last year’s record breaking goal! Deadline is Feb. 25th!
Thanks to the Box Tops app, the fundraising for our school continues to climb year-round. If you haven’t done so yet, please follow the instructions and download today. It is also a great way of seeing which products are participating and any promotional bonus tops that may be available. Here's how: Watch this VIDEO and/or visit the PTO Website.
Of course we are still collecting traditional Box Tops both in the classrooms and in the lobby box. We will continue to gather and clip until February 25th.
Thank you for contributing to this fun and successful fundraiser!
