We can easily achieve our goal this year, if every student turns in 50 Box Tops! This is our last contest of the year. Boxtops will always be accepted and submitted to Box Tops for Education, but this is the last 2017-2018 contest to try for prizes—$25 giftcard to Manhattan pizza for the top winter with the most box tops and a free small pizza gift card for anyone who participates!
Box tops offers 3 easy ways to earn cash for our school through everyday activities such as buying groceries, shopping online and signing up on the BOX TOPS website.
