Dear Morning Star Families and Friends, |
A BIG THANK YOU to Father Rafael and the Knights of Columbus from St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Mayport for helping to raise funds that will benefit our students! They collected $1,500 for us to use towards bus fees for field trips. The staff and students are so grateful for this partnership and look forward to the wonderful learning experiences that field trips provide.
God Bless,

Download the Box Tops App Today! |

Box Tops is a great way to earn fundraising dollars! And now there is a new phone app which makes it easier to earn points for our school! Shop as you normally would, then simply scan your store receipts to find participating products. The app will automatically credit your school's Box Tops earnings online. It's a much easier way to help us earn dollars.
Download the new Box Tops App HERE.
Watch a video about the new process HERE
You may still clip Box Tops and send them to school. Physical Box Tops clips are being phased out of production but may continue to be found on many products throughout the store.
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER...
- Turn in your box tops weekly. They do expire.
- Be sure to NOT cut the code off. We cannot use it if the code is missing even one of the digits.
- Place them in a zip lock bag and send them in with your student.
