This year EJES will be participating in BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION, a fun and easy way for our school to earn money to be used for activities such as Field Day. Our school will receive 10 cents for each Box Top that you clip, save and turn in. You will find Box Tops on hundreds of your favorite products. Each classroom will have a special collection box which will be tallied up once a month and the class that brings in the most Box Tops will win a special treat. Twice a year Box Tops will send our school a check worth 10 cents for each Box Top redeemed, up to $20,000. Please encourage family members, friends, co-workers and grandparents to clip and save Box Tops which can be found of hundreds of products that they are probably using everyday.
