Fox Chapel Elementary School ID:142527
Welcome back to school, parents! This year, our school will be participating in the Box Tops for Education™ program.
My name is Lenise Chege and I’m thrilled to be the Box Tops Coordinator for Fox Chapel Elementary School. Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school buy what it needs. Box Tops are each worth 10¢ and they
quickly add up to real cash for our school. This school year, our school’s earnings goal is $2,000.
To help our school, just look for pink Box Tops on products, clip them, and send them to school. For more information
on the Box Tops for Education program, including a list of participating products and our school’s progress, visit
www.BTFE.com. Be sure to become a member to receive exclusive coupon offers and recipes and learn about extra
ways for our school to earn.
Our school will have four submission dates and will receive two checks from the Box Tops for Education™ program
each school year. If you turn in your Box Tops before September 15th you can help boost the amount of the first check
we receive in December. Hurry, clip your Box Tops and turn them in before the deadline! The one class from each
grade that brings in the most Box Tops will receive a special party surprise!
