Digital Box Tops
All you need is your phone! Download the Box Tops app, shop as you normally would, then use the app to scan your store receipt within 14 days of purchase. The app will identify Box Tops products on your receipt and automatically credit our school's earnings online. Twice a year, our school will receive a check and can use that cash to buy whatever we need! Get more info at https://www.boxtops4education.com

READ-A-THON STARTS MONDAY SEPT 15!
Mark your calendars for the 2025 Read-A-Thon that starts on September 15 and ends on September 24. Students will commit to reading at least 30 minutes each day for 10 days and earn pledge money that they can spend at the Scholastic Book Fair in October! Half of the money they raise will go directly to their teachers for purchasing Scholastic books for the classroom! Students will get to spend the other half on books at the Book Fair! It's a win-win! Watch for Read-A-Thon packets in your child’s folder next week.
