SAVE SAVE SAVE BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION & TYSON PROJECT A+ LABELS Please be sure to go to www.boxtops4education.com & check out other ways you can help our school. They have monthly drawings for extra boxtops to go in our account and you can check out The Marketplace where you can shop from many stores online & a percentage comes back to our school. Companies like Lands End, Sears, Penneyís, Oriental Trading, Old Navy just to name a few! Please make sure you leave dates on box tops when cutting or tearing them off. They must be intact & not expired for them to count. The Tyson A+ labels are the entire tear off strip for bags & end flap from box items (only ones that say Project A+). You may also send in Campbell soup labels (the UPC & Logo on back). These do not count in your class totals because our school does not save these at this time, but other Goddard schools do, so we share with them. Please check out the websites for these companies for lots of other saving & contest opportunities. Contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for supporting Box Tops for Education, it's free money that otherwise ends up in the trashcan!!! boxtops4education.com http://ProjectAPlus.tyson.com Any Questions: Connie Purnell 794-4080 or cpurnell@goddardusd.com
