Box Tops:
Box Tops are going DIGITAL! Many brands that participate in Box Tops have already switched to a new label on their products. If you see a label that says “SCAN”, you have to use the Box Tops app to scan your receipt and ear the credits. Make sure you “Give Credit” to your child’s teacher by filling in the “Give Credit” entry box!!! Keep sending in the traditional “Clip it” Box Tops that are not expired as well.
For more information please read the Box Tops letter in the flyer section of this newsletter!
