Ways To Help Throughout the Year

Box Tops for Education & Funding Factory

Collection Dates 2011-12:
Friday, October 7, 2011
Friday, February 3, 2012
Friday, May 4, 2012

Send your Box Tops and used printer ink cartridges into school with your Center, Elmwood or Hopkins student! You can send them in any time during the year, but the HPTA tries to remind families at these three specific times. To be counted for the Box Tops contest, Box Tops must be brought in by May 4. There is no contest for the ink cartridges, which are collected in the lobby rather than in the classroom.

Box Tops Contest:
The classes that collect the most Box Tops will win a reward at the end of the year. There will be one winning class per grade. The reward varies from grade to grade, last year rewards included a special story read by Mrs Sheelan, a special game outside on the Elmwood field, time to watch a movie in class and extra recess.
