We are having a Box Tops for Education
Contest for the month of January.
Please collect Box Tops for Education from the participating brands you
already purchase. SCJN receives 10 cents for every box top submitted.
That adds up fast, with the potential to raise hundreds (thousands?)
for our school, simply by clipping the Box Tops seal.
There may be participating items you buy each week, the seal can be
small enough that you've missed it! PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT FOR A
COMPLETE LISTING OF PARTICIPATING BOX TOP FOR EDUCATION PRODUCTS.
Send
in your box tops until January 31, when they will be collected
from each classroom. The winning class receives a dessert party of
their choice!!
