Box Tops for Education: Update

Thanks to all who have been busily cutting Box Tops Coupons. The first submission was this week and we sent in over 3,300 box tops totaling $338.00! This is the best we have ever done and we hope that everyone will keep checking products to make certain they are not throwing away coupons. They may only be worth 10 cents each, but over time that adds up. For comparison, last year we earned $128.75 for the fall submissions with a total for the year of $295. The year before our total for the year was $97.00! We are off to an amazing start! The final submissions for checks to be received this school year will be February 28. Please keep clipping and sending the Box Tops to school (There is a box on the front table in the main office.) Each year our goal has been $500 and this year we may even exceed it! In addition to cutting coupons, you may also register on the Box Tops for Education website for periodic raffles of Box Tops. Once you have registered, you can purchase things through the Box Tops Market Place from many on-line companies. If you ever order things on-line from places like Target, Barnes and Noble, The Gap, or Lands End to name a few, consider registering at Box Tops and accessing these sites through the Market Place. Target for example will donate 1.5% of the total purchase to our school. I am not asking anyone to buy anything they do not already need, just take a few minutes to see if there is a way for your purchase to help out Fort River School. This is the best fund raiser as it does not require any monetary donation, just a few minutes to get out the scissors and clip. So when you are preparing Thanksgiving dinner look for the Box Tops symbol. Let’s exceed our goal for the year! Thanks, Jan Kelly
