BOX TOPS
Box Tops has helped America’s schools raise over $175 million to buy the things they need. The Box Tops for Education program offers three easy ways to make a difference through everyday activities: buying groceries, shopping online or making purchases with a credit card. School budgets are tighter than ever, and Ada Merritt K-8 Center is asking for the support of families and community members like you. This year we’ve set a goal of earning a minimum of $ 500 through Box Tops.
Another easy way to help our school is to sign up for the Box Tops website at boxtops4education.com
You’ll get updates on our school’s Box Tops earnings, money-saving coupons, family-pleasing recipes, chances to win Bonus Box Tops, the latest Box Tops news and much, much more.
Best of all, it’s absolutely free!
Oh, and don't forget to go to the "ALL About Box Tops" tab and scroll to the Participating Products for the list, then look for those products in your home.
We will have a collection box placed at the Cafeteria for easy collection and drop off. Please make sure all labels are properly cut in the dotted line and that the expiration date has not passed.
