Box Tops Collection

Box Tops for Education is a national school earnings program that has been around since 1996. Our school’s goal this year is to earn $1000.00 for Capital Prep. Earn cash for your school by clipping 10¢ Box Tops from hundreds of products and having your kids bring them in to their advisor. Start clipping – turn in your box tops to your advisor weekly.
