BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
The Box Tops for Education gains free cash for WJJMS. Clipping Box Tops has been replaced with scanning receipts and sending in online shopping orders. Our school still earns 10 cents per participating item purchased. Those receipts scanned add up to a lot of cash for our school to use to directly benefit our students.
Download the Box Tops for Education app from your app store. Select William J Johnston Middle School to receive the benefits. When you see an item you purchased have the symbol for Box Tops for Education simply scan the receipt or email your online shopping order to [email protected]
Watch our school earnings add up in real time. Scan receipt or email your online shopping receipt within 14 days of the qualifying purchase to earn rewards.
