F.A. REBATE PROGRAM FUNDING: Box Tops for Education Program

Clip "Box Tops for Education" logos from General Mills, Ziploc & Avery Office products and send them into school with your child anytime. Each box top earns 10 cents for the PFA. We hold a lower school contest and middle school contest for the most box tops collected during the fall each year. There are collection boxes in each lower school classroom and the top three lower school classes win a pizza party (usually on the day of their Valentine's Day Party). There are containers for 6th, 7th and 8th grades located in the common area of the middle school. The middle school grade collecting the most boxtops wins a denim/logo day for the entire class. Lower and Middle School students may also earn a special dessert at the end of the school year if we meet our box tops earnings goal for the year. Upper School students and parents are encouraged to bring box tops into the upper school and place them in the entry collection box as well to earn money for FA! F.A. earns over $1,000 through this program each year. For more information go to: http://www.boxtops4education.com/

LOWER SCHOOL BOX TOPS TALLY PARENTS

1. Make sure your classroom has a Box Tops collection box as close to the first week of school as possible (contact me if it does not have one already).
2. You will receive three emails (one in Nov, one in Dec and one in May) asking you to empty the collection box and count the box tops.
3. After each collection, trim all box tops along the dotted line so the logo and expiration date is showing (discard any that have expired).
4. Bundle the box tops in groups of 50 with string, rubber bands or plastic baggies then label the entire group together with your teacher’s name (in the fall). No classroom label is required in the spring since the goal is school-wide. Note: BONUS Box Tops must be bundled separately.
5. Bring your bundles to the Lower School Front Desk with a grand total clearly documented on top.
