Box Tops for Education
Help our school by saving your box tops for education!  Every box top you save earns money for our school.  We are changing howe we collect our box tops, and ask that you paste or tape your box tops onto the downloadable sheets that are provided in this link HERE.  We also have printed sheets that you can take home and complete that are located about the take home mailboxes in the Front Entry.  Watch for updates as we will start tracking our earnings and letting all of our families know how much this program is helping our school.
