Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to another great year at St. Brendan School! As many of you know Box Tops 4 Education is one of the wonderful fundraising opportunities available to our school!
This year our goal is to raise the bar of earnings over the past years. In order to accomplish this goal we will need the participation of ALL our families at St. Brendan.
Box Tops offer three easy ways to earn cash for our school through everyday activities such as buying groceries, shopping online and purchasing books.
Clip — Clip Box Top coupons from hundreds of participating products and send them to school. Box Tops coupons are worth 10¢ each when our school redeems them from Box Tops for Education.
Shop — Shop at your favorite online stores through the Box Tops MarketplaceSM (btfe.com/marketplace). Up to 8% of each qualifying purchase is automatically donated to our school. There is no additional cost to your purchase and many exclusive deals and discounts can be found!
Buy books — Purchase books online at Barnes & Noble through the Box Tops Reading RoomSM. Our school will receive 6% of your new book purchases and 3% of all other online purchases.
One of the easiest ways you can help is to sign up to support our school at btfe.com. You will learn about new and easy ways to help our school earn the extra cash it needs.
Exclusive web benefits:

Books and Beyond Chart
Books And Beyond - Dive With The Dolphins
Once again we would like to take you on a journey through the exciting world of books. Explore the world, learn fascinating facts, and build your enthusiasm for reading.
We will chart your dolphin’s journey and record your minutes as you swim to exotic islands.
Here is how the program will work.
The program will begin on September 1st and end on April 30th.
Program goal:
- Each student to read 20 minutes a day
- Each student to read 100 minutes a week
- Each student to read 400 minutes a month
- Each student to read 3200 minutes a year
- Each student will have read 53 hours over the school year.
It will take 213 minutes to move from one island to another on the bulletin board in the social hall. No students are allowed to touch the board. Assigned parents will move the colored dolphins. Early elementary will be red, elementary will be blue, and middle school will be green. You can put suggestions for the next month’s book theme on your sheet, i.e. pirates or ponies.
Each student will be required to log and tally their information. Parents will be asked to sign off on the logs sheets. The student will only need to hand in sheets once a month:
- September is due Oct 2nd
- October is due Nov 6th
- November is due Dec 4th
- December is due Jan 8th
- January is due Feb 5th
- February is due Mar 5th
- March is due Apr 2nd
- April is due May 7th
Assigned parents will keep track of the minutes. (Keep a copy of your log sheets in case a child looses them.)
There will be monthly prizes for the top three Readers Of The Month and recognition of the top reader in each class.
There will be prizes awarded for the top three Readers Of The Year.
Each student that participates will receive a reading medal.
Our goal is to make reading fun, enjoyable, and rewarding. We ask all parents for your support. This is an opportunity to not only increase your child’s vocabulary but to help them develop a desire to read that will last them a life time.
