Box Tops (New Way to Earn)

Play the Box Tops Locker Game!

Since people have not been using the online app as much as anticipated this past year, Box Tops has a lot of extra money to give away to schools! Now through November 30, you can earn bonus rewards for the school with the “Unlock Brighter Futures” Locker Game sweepstakes. Using your Box Tops app, scan specially marked Box Tops products to receive a Locker Code. Enter your code in a special section of the app.

See this flyer for details on how to enter your codes, plus a few locker codes to get you started. Questions? Email Sayli Moskowitz at sayliw@gmail.com.

Earn money for SJLES with Box Tops!

The Box Tops program is an easy way to earn money for our school! The new Box Tops online app makes it easier than ever. Simply download the app and use it to scan your receipts to earn the rewards! No more clipping is necessary. Learn more right here.

If you do come across unexpired physical Box Tops, you can still clip them and return them to the school (in a Ziploc bag). Any questions, email Sayli Moskowitz at sayliw@gmail.com.

Join the 2021-2022 PTA

Becoming a member of the PTA does not mean you need to volunteer!  It simply means that you are donating to help enhance the school experience for all of the students. 

The PTA funds school-wide presentations, family fun events, teacher appreciation activities, and items needed by the teachers for their lessons and classrooms. 

It is $30 for two-parent households and $12 for one-parent households for the 2021-2022 school year.  (Or you can choose to donate more and receive a car magnet as a thank you.)  Visit our online Membership site to make your tax deductible donation.  Thank you for supporting SJLES!
