BOX TOPS!!!

We need your box tops! This year we are participating in the box tops for education program. When you clip and save your box top, you earn the school 10 cents. It doesn't seem like a lot, but they add up quickly! To help us make our goal of $1000 this year, simply look for the pink box top on products, clip, and send it to the school. You can find a link for more information HERE !



Have a great week and thank you for your continued support!
