Stracks Receipts Contest – Help Your Child’s Class Win!

Each month, our classrooms compete to collect the most Strack's grocery receipts, and the winning class is recognized and celebrated! It’s a fun way to build school spirit while supporting our students. Every receipt you send in helps us earn dollars that go directly toward classroom items that support your child’s learning like books, supplies, and educational materials. Let’s work together to make a difference one receipt at a time!

You can scan boxtops for our school to earn money for prizes & class incentives! You can scan boxtops for our school to earn money for prizes & class incentives!
