Box Tops has made changes to the way earn money for Edison. Please see the instructions that went home with your child for information on how to use the new app and scan grocery receipts to earn money for Edison. Old Box Tops can still be redeemed until their expiration date so be sure to turn them in with your child by October 18th for the fall submission. Until old Box Tops are phased out, you can “double dip” by turning in old Box Tops and scanning your receipt! Questions? Contact Lindsay Janowski.
