** NEXT COLLECTION DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15TH **

Dear Parents,

Please help the PTA earn money for school supplies and playground equipment with the Box Tops for Education program.

Box Tops: []
 * 1) 1. Clip Box Tops from products and send them to school in bags or envelopes labeled with your teacher’s name. They can be found on many products, from fresh produce to office supplies, so be on lookout for the image above. Participating brands can also be found here:


 * 1) 2. In addition to clipping box tops and turning them in at school, be sure to look for bonus opportunities for Box Tops throughout the school year on the Bingham Farm Elementary School Facebook page. Also, watch out for Box Tops bonus opportunities at Meijer and Kroger.

As extra incentive, we have some competitions throughout the school year. The class that brings in the most Box Tops for each collection period will win an **Ice Cream Party. Everything that is labeled with the teacher’s name will be counted in the class competition**, so be sure to put the Box Tops into bags or envelopes clearly marked with the teacher’s name.

You can also attach the Box Tops to collection sheets, which enter students into a raffle to win a **$10 gift card to Dairy Queen**. A winner from each grade will be drawn in May. Collection sheets are attached, and are available in the office. Feel free to print as many as you like – each completed sheet of 5 counts as a raffle entry. These sheets count toward the classroom collection, just be sure to fill in the name, grade and teacher.

Turn-in deadlines are at the end of September, December, February, and April. You can turn in any time prior to the deadline. **First collection deadline is Monday, October 2nd.**

A few important notes:


 * · Box Tops have expiration dates, be sure to check them before turning in.
 * · **__ Please trim the box tops along the dotted lines __** to just include the necessary images as shown below. This makes sorting and counting MUCH easier for me, and cuts down the time I spend trimming everything in order to reduce shipping costs.
 * · ** DO NOT STAPLE ** the labels to the sheets. Please only glue or tape!

** Thank you for your help and participation! Please let me know of any questions. **  ** Sarah Allen, allen_sarahmarie@yahoo.com– 248.259.1239 **
