Box Tops For Education Contest

Start Clipping and Saving!!!

Welcome back to school, parents! My name is Jammie Burwell and I'm our school's Box Tops for Education™ Coordinator.

Clipping Box Tops is an easy way to help earn cash for our school. Just look for the pink Box Tops on hundreds of products. Each one is worth 10¢ for our school! All you have to do is clip them and send them to school. It is important to note that each Box Top has a printed expiration date so don't hang on to them to long.

Please join us in our first Classroom Clipping Contest. The classroom who clips and brings in the most Box Tops byFriday, September 2, wins bragging rights and a popsicle party! Place saved Box Tops in a baggy marked with the teacher and student name and have your child deliver them to their teacher.

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. My email is jammieburwell@cox.net. I'm here to help make our school's Box Tops for Education™ program a huge success this year.

Thanks for your help!
