Ways to Help Our School

 
We collect Box Tops for Education! 
You can clip 10¢ Box Tops coupons from hundreds of your favorite products such as Cheerios®, Betty Crocker®, Juicy Juice®, Ziploc®, Kleenex®, Hefty® and more! Just send them to school with your child or while visiting our school, drop them into the Box Tops for Education container located in the main office.
Don't throw away empty ink cartridges! We are collecting those too for our ink cartridge recycling program. This is a wonderful way for our school to obtain a little extra money for much needed supplies. They can be sent to school with your child or dropped off in the Computer Lab.
 
Environmentally conscious parents who have been reluctant to pack fruit drink pouches in their kids’ lunches have cause to reconsider. Through the generous sponsorships of Honest Kids and CAPRI SUN, we are now able to collect, recycle, and receive 2 cents for every empty CAPRI SUN juice pouch.
