Box Tops Winter Class Competition!
Thank you to everyone who submitted box tops for the Fall Class Competition! Ms. Sardo’s 6th grade class won and enjoyed a delicious lunch from Riverside
Pizzeria. Congratulations again to Ms. Sardo’s class!
Our Winter Box Tops competition will award free dress and a treat of cocoa and cookies to the class that brings in the most box tops by Friday, February 22nd!
Each student who submits a full sheet of box tops will receive a gift card for the choice of small frozen lemonade, chocolate chunk cookies, small ice cream cone,
or a small milkshake from Chick-Fil-A!
Clipping Box Tops is an easy way to help earn cash for our school. Each one is worth 10¢ for our school! Just look for the pink Box Tops on hundreds of
products. All you have to do is clip them and send them to school.
Last school year, we earned $753 for our school from Box Tops. This school year, our goal is to earn $1000.00.
For more information on Box Tops, including a list of participating products, go to BTFE.com. Be sure to sign up as a member (it’s free!) so you can check out
our school’s earnings details and get access to coupons and bonus offers.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m here to help make our school’s Box Tops for Education™ program a huge success this year.
Thank you!
Jill Duffy
