shift. (Pies are our best sellers) ;)
BoxTop Collection is ongoing and we are gearing up for our final 2014-15 school year send off. Please send your BoxTops to school
with your student to drop off in our collection boxes as soon as possible. They take a great deal of time to prepare for our send off.
