“Box Tops for Education” Changes

Dear 21st Century Families,

The Box Tops for Education program is changing the way we can earn cash for our school!

Over the summer, participating brands have begun to change their packaging from the traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Tops label. Going forward, instead of clipping from packages and checking expiration dates, all Box Tops will be earned digitally by YOU scanning YOUR receipt. The Box Tops for Education team has a user-friendly Box Tops mobile app.  The app features state-of-the-art technology that allows you to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school’s earnings online.  You select 21ST CENTURY PUBLIC ACADEMY| School ID: 954737


If you still have traditional Box Tops clips at home, make sure to send them to school by October 18, 2019. We will still earn cash for all clipped Box Tops until they expire. Better yet,  “double dip” during the packaging transition by clipping traditional Box Tops AND scanning your store receipt containing participating products.

Thank you for helping our school get what it needs! BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW APP Today and scan your receipts within 10 days and the school automatically earns!

Please call me if you have any questions.

Box Tops Coordinator
