This year’s BOX TOP$ collection challenge runs January 25 through February 19. If we reach our goal of collecting $800 worth of box tops, students will get an EXTRA RECESS! We have raised approximately $700 through this program in each of the last 2 years. Three years ago we earned $940. WE CAN DO IT AGAIN!

Look for the bright pink Box Tops on hundreds of grocery products, cut them out and drop them in the collection boxes located in your classroom. Let’s turn them into cash for our school.
