Box Tops
Congratulations to Mrs. Bearden’s 5th Grade Class for collecting the most Box Tops in January! We hope you enjoy your donut party!
February may be the month for love, but it’s also the biggest month of the year for Box Tops! February 11-14 is our BIGGEST and MOST IMPORTANT collection week because it is our last collection month before checks are issued for the school year! And because February is such a BIG month for us, we’ll have a BIG prize for the class that collects the most Box Tops in February!
Currently, Crestline is in 9th place out of the 267 participating schools in our area! While this is GREAT, we know we can do even better! Help Crestline move up the ranks and earn more funds for our school. Ask grandparents and neighbors to collect Box Tops for Crestline, or place a collection envelope at your office. And don’t forget to use the Box Tops app! Special offers and e-Box Tops change each month, but this month’s Box Tops app deals include:
To receive credit for any e-Box Tops you earn, forward a copy of your confirmation email to JPearce@ggh-law.com. We will allocate e-Box Tops to whichever class or classes you designate (and don’t forget – the actual Box Tops from the product still count, so your purchase gives Crestline double credit).
Thank you all for contributing to Crestline through the Box Tops program!
Happy clipping! Julie Pearce, Vicki Barclay and Lindsay Cripps
