Got Box Tops?
Get the family involved in clipping Box Tops to earn money for our school.  It's fun and easy to do.  For a complete list of items that carry the Box Tops coupon for clipping, click here.  Need to know what a Box Top looks like, look no further.  Look below, and then go look in the pantry. 




You'll be surprised by how many of these small pink coupons you'll find there.  Each coupon represents 10 cents for our school.  We've already raised $1300 in Box Tops this year, which is a lot of cash for what would otherwise be trash.

Help us beat our goal of $2000 in Box Tops this school year!   Check back for updates on our progress, which we'll track here regularly for you.

For additional information about the program, contact Jan Boley.

SCRIP CARDS
Regardless of whether you love to shop or hate to shop, one of the easiest ways to raise money for BMES is to do all of your routine shopping through one of our several retail fund raising programs.  No extra money required, no purchases aside from those you would routinely make.  Check out the different opportunities to shop and raise money for BMES below.






One of the easiest ways to help raise funds for BMES is to buy SCRIP cards for gift giving and your own shopping purposes.  Whether you need a gift card for the person who has everything, or you just want to stock up on cards for your own favorite retailers, grocery stores, and restaurants, there's no easier way to go. 

Our SCRIP program brings them all to you.  SCRIP cards are sold at school every Friday morning, from 8:30 am to 9:30 am, in the front hallway next to the office.  Or, you can download your SCRIP order form here and drop off your order in the office. 

If you have any questions, or any special SCRIP requests, please contact Lauren Rodriguez.
