PTO is grateful to participate in programs which reward our school based on the customer loyalty and patronage of our families. A percentage of the proceeds spent are donated back to the school!
Box Tops
Drop them off in your child’s classroom
This program may already be familiar to you…”Box Tops” can be found on hundreds of products. Simply cut the coupon and bring them to your child’s classroom!Not sure where to find Box Top coupons? Look on General Mills cereal, Pillsbury products, Betty Crocker products, Hefty products and more. Each Box Top coupon is worth $.10 and this adds up fast. Last year Mark Twain received $2172 in funding through this program. Our goal for 2011/2012 is for each student to turn in 30 Box Top coupons, which is a total of 21,600 coupons. Get the kids involved by having them help find products with Box Top coupons and by asking family and friends to save Box Top coupons as well. I’m sure we can sail right past the goal of 30 per child…and there are prizes for top collecting classrooms when the efforts come to an end in February! Complete List of Box Top Products.
