BOX TOPS ARE GOING PAPERLESS

Box Tops are in the process of decreasing their carbon footprint! The phase-out has begun. New boxes have a scan option that makes collecting Box Tops easy peasy.

We also collect paper ones all year long! Last year we collected $600.00+. Imagine if each of our students were to bring in just 50 Box Tops? We would net $6,500!!
