Collecting Box Tops is an easy way to support Unity West simply by cutting out the Box Top logos from products you already purchase.  Simply send Box Tops to school in a bag with your child's teacher's name on it; you may send any quantity at any time.  Each label earns Unity West ten cents.  To view a list of products with Box Top labels, click on the link to the Box Tops website here. 

To save paper, we are no longer asking for box tops to be attached to forms.  Simply place any amount of box tops into a baggie and write on it your child's name and teacher name and send it to school.  That way, your child and class will receive credit during a contest.
