BOX TOPS FOR EAGLES!

Welcome to the 2011-12 Box Tops For Education fundraising year!

It’s not too late to participate in the summer collection. At the end of last year, your child should have come home with a baggie with the following instructions:

Help your child collect as many Box Tops as possible over summer break. Every child who turns in a bag to the front office during the first week of school will win a prize and all Box Tops collected over the summer will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win movie passes!
Look for the official coupon on any Box Tops for Education product, cut it out (along the dotted line please) , write your child’s first and last name and teachers name on the back, and place it in the ziploc bag. Return the bag to the front office anytime after August 24th.
Be sure to register on-line at http://www.boxtops4education.com to see a full list of products, find out promotions and sales and enter contests

*If you are a new parent, you can pick-up a baggie from the front office or use any snack/sandwich size baggie from home!

The drawing will be held on Friday September, 2nd at 8am. The winner will be announced during morning announcements.

After Friday, 9-2, we will be going back to our original BTFE monthly drawing (see below for details)
first drawing for school spirit store certificates will be held on Friday September 30th

Box Tops must be turned in to the front office by the end of the school day on the last Thursday of each month
Box Tops winners will be drawn in the morning of the last Friday of the month and will be announced with morning announcements

Here’s how it works!

1) Buy Box Tops Products
2) Cut out the Box Top coupon from each package
3) Write your child’s first and last name and teachers name on the back of each Box Top
4) Send them to school with your child or drop them off at the front office
5) For each Box Top turned in, your child will be entered in a monthly drawing to win one of four $1 certificates to the Irving School Spirit Store!
6) Our school earns 10 cents for every coupon collected
