Box Tops App: Dear Parents and Friends of St. Francis School,

In over 20 years box tops have been in existence, we have received $33,841.00.  So far this year with the changes to scanning your receipts, we have earned $9.20 and I do not have a large amount of box tops to submit. If you have any box tops at home, please send them to school or in the collection at church by Oct. 25^th. I have to cut and count to send in by Nov. 1^st. If you have the new app, please scan your receipts within 14 days of purchase.  If you can’t get the app, please send your receipt copies and we will try to get someone to scan it. Thank you for helping St. Francis School.  Sincerely, Karen Kroeger
