Box Tops for Education

For almost 25 years, Box Tops for Education has given families an easy way to earn cash for schools – with products they already buy. You may remember clipping Box Tops, but now you simply scan paper receipts or enter digital ones within 14 days of purchases using the Box Tops app on your phone. Box Tops earnings are delivered to schools twice per year, in December and April.

Kinsner can earn up to $1,000 this school year from Box Tops, so we encourage you all to download the app and start scanning your grocery receipts!

Please visit the following link to Download the app to your phone. The app will guide you step-by-step in setting up your account via Apple, Google, Facebook or by using an email account.

You can find our school by searching with Zip Code 44149 and selecting Bessie M. Elementary School as the school you wish to support.

Box Tops often has bonus offers, and you can refer friends to earn even more Box Tops for Kinsner! If you have any questions, please email Kinsnermustangspta@gmail.com.
