Summer Collection of Box Tops Coming to a Close!

The PTO sent home an empty baggie with a Box Tops collection note at the end of this last school year and we are reminding you that we will be collecting these baggies, hopefully filled with Box Tops, at this school year's Open House.  Look for the collection box at the PTO table to drop them off!

Each Box Top is worth 10 cents!  And with over 250 children at our school, we can earn some extra cash for various school needs each year.  Find out more by visiting Box Tops 4 Education.

Thank you!
