WANTED: Box Tops for Education. Many food items that come in boxes have a “Box Tops for Education” bar coded label. Cut this out, send it school and we can exchange these labels for technology tools, sports equipment, art supplies and much more.

The class that turns in the most Box Tops for Education by October 8 will receive a Special Prize!
