Our next BOX TOP collection date is Friday, Feb 2nd!

Thank you for supporting Hickory Grove Christian School by collecting Box Tops.  Our school earns 10 cents for each box top submitted.  We will have two more collection times this school year on February 2nd and May 4th. You can help us reach our goal by sending in your Box Tops on those dates.


HERE ARE A COUPLE OF TIPS TO HELP MAKE SUBMITTING BOX TOPS EASIER:
• Ask your family members and neighbors for save them for you.
• Bundle your Box Tops in groups of 50 using a Ziploc bag or envelope.
• Write your student’s name and grade on the bag or envelope.  Have your student
drop off the Box Tops in the container in the High School office.


We will give out prizes for the students submitting the most Box Tops in each grade level!


Our school will receive a check based on the number of Box Tops submitted which will be used to purchase items the school needs.
