Dear Parents and Students, Thank you for making last year’s “Box Tops for Education” collection a success! Together we collected over 15,000 box tops which generated just over $1,500 for Saint Michael’s School.

This is a wonderful program that has generated over $300 million dollars for schools nationwide. Historically, our collective box tops have enabled our students to enjoy “Fun Friday at the Feast” at no cost. Last year, the Home School Association in partnership with Mrs. Byrne, our school’s Box Top Program Coordinator, held a school wide box top contest. The competition was fierce as classrooms competed to bring in the most box tops in each month to earn an “out of uniform” day.

Since we all liked it so much, we decided we are going to do it again this year! Please bring in all of those box tops that you saved throughout summer. We look forward to a big September and another great year.

In addition to the Box Top Program we would also like to let you know about two other simple ways to raise funds for Saint Michael’s School.

For those of you with a Target REDcard, the “Take Charge of Education” program allows you to choose Saint Michael’s School to receive 1% of your REDcard Target purchases. It’s that easy! [Apply here »]

Stop and Shop has a similar program with their “A+ School Rewards” program which allows Saint Michael’s to earn point that translate into cash back to the school. [Apply here »].

If you have a Target REDcard or Shop and Stop card, please be sure to register Saint Michael’s as your school.

Thank you for your continued support and participation in these programs.
