PJHS: Box Tops for Education
· For every 10 Box Tops you bring into your Den Time (3rd period) class you get a 5-point Extra Credit Coupon to use in any of your classes (with teacher’s acceptance). If you happen to bring in more than 50 Box Tops, then you will also receive a Free Homework Pass (on top of the 5 extra credit coupons).
· Extra Credit coupons will not be replaced if lost or stolen—so keep it safe and redeem as soon as you know which class you would like to use the extra credit in.
· The Extra Credit coupon will not expire until the end of the school year.
· All Box Tops will be collected on the last Monday of the term, and Box Tops will not be carried over from term to term—so save up 10 Box Tops before you turn them in.
NOTE: Teachers are not required to accept coupons for extra credit —so please check with teacher before presenting it. Also, you may combine more than one coupon for a class.
