Amazon Smile

Did you know that Amazon will donate a percentage of your purchases back to our school through its Amazon Smile program? And it doesn't cost YOU anything extra! Don't worry - your current Amazon account, Prime or otherwise, will still work perfectly fine by shopping through Amazon Smile!

Log onto amazonsmile.com and search for "Cicero Elementary School Parent Teachers Group" as your charity of choice. Now, every time you shop on Amazon via Amazon Smile a small percentage of your purchase will come back to Cicero Elementary! (Be sure it reads "Supporting Cicero Elementary School Parent Teachers Group" on the top of your Amazon shopping page.)

Box Tops

Please save and turn in Box Tops throughout the school year! You can also now scan your grocery receipt! Download the Box Top app on your phone and start scanning today!

You can easily find BoxTops on hundreds of different household items from brands like Betty Crocker, Reynolds, Hefty and dozens more - click here to view a complete list. You can also find recipes and coupons at that website.

Every Box Top turned in on behalf of Cicero Elementary earns us 10 cents! These ADD UP FAST - we usually earn at least $3,000 every year simply from our families turning in Box Tops! The PTG then uses this money to do all sorts of great things for our students. Please ask your friends, family and neighbors to collect their BoxTops for us, too!

HERE'S WHAT TO DO:

• Cut the Box Top symbol off of the box / wrapper / container. Don't remove or cut over the expiration date.

• Gather Box Tops up in a baggie or envelope and label with your child's name and homeroom number or teacher name - Be sure to label so that your child's classroom gets the proper credit and entries towards winning our annual classroom contest! You can also download and print fun collection sheets by clicking here.

• Send into school (your child can turn them in to his/her teacher) whenever is convenient for you!
