You Made A Difference

Wow! We wanted to let everyone know what a difference you made with Box Tops for Education. In three months, you helped us raise $547.00. We will use that to purchase new technology equipment. Our goal is for our school to be a one-to-one school in which each child has a computer or iPad to learn with. Please keep sending those in. We will send a new page to fill up every month. Be on the look out in May for the summer sheet and the contest for turning those in.

Please remember to attach bonus box tops to a separate sheet from your regular box tops. Those cannot be on the same page. Thanks.
