STOP! 
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY FOOD PACKAGING...

Make sure to save those box tops for the winter collection date. Box tops will be collected again on Friday, March 8th 
 
Check your cereal boxes, ziplock bag boxes, butter packaging, fruit snacks, etc. for the Box Top logo. We'll take them any way that you can send them in, but if you or your children have time to trim around the box tops, that saves our box top crew some time.  If you have any questions, please email the PTO at coppercreekpto@gmail.com.
