Box Tops for Education
Help us earn money for outdoor equipment!
It's as easy as BUY, SCAN, EARN!
If you receive a paper receipt, a quick scan with the Box Tops app will identify participating products and automatically credit your school's earnings online.
Whether you've ordered groceries for delivery or pickup, shopped through your store's app, or requested an email receipt at checkout, you can earn Box Tops with digital receipts too.
We currently have gone from $80.30 with Box Tops to $82.60
One of our goals this year at Creekside Elementary School is to ensure that we have effective communication with our families at the school level. This survey pertains to school-wide communication and is not in reference to specific parent-teacher communications.
Please use the link above "We need your feedback" to complete the survey by February 10th to let us know how we are doing so far. This data will be used to help us make improvements and adjustments to our communication plan.
🎨Coming Soon🥳
