Food City Bucks
Did you know our school benefits from funds generated by clipping Box Tops? Last year we collected over $500 in free money from Box Tops! Please help us to exceed that amount this year. Funds are used by the PTSA to help provide much needs items that benefits our students! So please remember to clip those Box Tops and put them in the collection box located in the front lobby.
Our school can also earn free money when you shop at Food City! Just link your Food City ValuCard to Sevier Middle School to participate in school bucks. Each year you must re-link your card again so now is the time to do it. You may do this online at www.Foodcity.com or ask the cashier when you check out to link your card.
Thank you for supporting our school with these easy money making projects!
