Keep clipping Box Tops and send them to school before the spring submission deadline, Mar. 1, so we can mail them in and get cash for our school! Remember, the collection bin is right inside the front doors to the school. Thanks for supporting our school through the Box Top program! Together, we can make a big difference!
