Box Tops:

Congratulations to Ms. McKinley's class! For the second time this year, they clipped the most Box Tops (147 this quarter) and won another Box Tops party. Thank you everyone for scanning your receipts this year! You made a big difference for our school!

Win a Box Top Party for your class!

In a competition that will run throughout the entire school year, the class that has the most Box Tops scanned at the end of each grading period will get to have a Box Top Party in their classroom! That means FOUR chances to win!

Helping your child's class earn a Box Top Party is simple:

1.) Please download the Box Tops for Education app on your phone or go to BTFE.com.

2.) After your regular in-person or online shopping, scan in your receipt.

3.) At the end, make sure to select your child's classroom teacher so they get credit!

That's it! Our school earns actual CASH for every Box Top scanned!
