The classroom Box Tops for Education contest is underway at Sheckler. Students can bring these Box Tops in with them and give them to their teacher.

They will be tallied and the classroom with the top amount in each grade level will earn a classroom party.

The contest will run from now until Oct. 26. Each one is worth 10 cents and when added together schoolwide, they add up quickly.

Box Tops can be found on General Mills products. Be sure to check your items, clip and send them to school and help your child's class become the winning room, while also helping to earn the school some extra cash.
