BOX TOPS ARE CHANGING!
Last school year, HTS and PVS earned $2,917.80 from Box Tops for Education! All for clipping some Box Tops – easy!
Now Box Tops is undergoing a makeover. You’ll still find old style Box Tops on some products and when you do, you should clip them and have your children bring them to their teachers. But you will now also see new Box Tops labels that you don’t have to clip. Instead, download the Box Tops app to your phone and scan your receipts when you get home from the grocery store, Target, Walmart, or wherever you buy products with Box Tops. That’s it! Your Box Tops will be automatically counted toward the school.
Thank you for your support!
