Box Tops Request

Box Tops are due February 22, so I can prepare them for shipping on March 1st. Last semester we received a check for $650 and I'm hoping we can match that this semester.  Our goal for the year is $1000. You can put the Box Tops on the sheets or send them in baggies. It would help Ms. Coleman greatly if you could trim them and put them in bags of 50 if you have that many. Thanks for your help.
