Just look for the Box Tops logo on hundreds of products like Cheerios®, Fiber One™ Bars, and Yoplait® Go-GURT® Yogurt, in almost every aisle of the store. All you need to do save your receipt and scan it using the Box Tops For Education app on. your smart device – each product you purchase with a Box Tops logo on it is worth 10¢ for EWPTO.
Traditional Box Tops to cut out of the product box are being phased out of production, but may continue to be found on many products throughout the store. You can still clip them and send them to school – just make sure they’re not expired!

BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITATIONS
If you are planning a birthday party outside of school for your child, and would like to invite EVERY single child in the class, the teacher can provide you with a list of all students’ first names, and can assist with the distribution of invitations to ALL students in the class. We can NOT provide last names, addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc. And, we do NOT permit any distribution of invitations to only some of the students in the class.
NUT FREE CLASSROOMS
Due to several severe, life-threatening nut allergies our students are dealing with, all of our classrooms MUST remain nut-free at all times. Please provide a daily snack for your child that does NOT contain any nut products. (Peanut butter and other nut products are allowed at lunch in our cafeteria.)
In addition to this policy, we also do not allow the distribution of any food (candy, doughnuts, pizza, cupcakes, etc.) to our classes of students. Please do not bring any food into school to share with the class.
