Join me in earning cash for our school by using the Box Tops app. It’s an easy way to make a difference. All you have to do is buy Box Tops participating products (like Cheerios!) and scan your grocery receipt. Box Tops are worth $.10 each and they add up fast! Twice a year, our school receives a check to help pay for whatever we need - equipment, supplies or experiences the kids love!
Use this referral code RZQY626E when you sign up and you’ll get 25 Bonus Box Tops when you scan your first receipt now through 05/31/2025, while supplies last! Download the Box Tops for Education app here: https://btfe.smart.link/c2jjdifkw?referral_code=RZQY626E
Box Tops now offers the ability to link your Walmart account and when you do this, you don't even have to scan, it's automatic! Every sign-up we get through the end of August helps us earn an immediate $5.
Thank you for supporting the CHES PTO!
