It’s Box Tops submission time! Our school will be sending in the Box Tops we’ve
collected by [INSERT DATE]. Our goal this school year is to earn
$[INSERT AMOUNT]. You can help us reach that goal and make our earnings
check big by sending in your Box Tops this month.
I’ll be bundling all the Box Tops on [INSERT DAYS AND TIMES] at [INSERT
LOCATION]. If you’d like to help out, just let me know. It’s fun and easy! If you
have Box Tops you still need to get to me, here are some optional tips that’ll make
the submission process easier:
• Bundle your Box Tops in groups of 10 or 50 using a sealable bag or envelope
• Tape or glue Box Tops on a collection sheet, available at BTFE.com
Once we send in all our Box Tops, our school will receive a check from Box Tops
for Education™ and can use this cash to buy the things we need. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact me at [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS OR PHONE
NUMBER].
Thanks for your help!
