• PTSA is starting a campaign to participate in the Box Tops for education program this year.  We would like to encourage everyone to collect and bring in Box Tops.  If every student and staff member in our school would give just 12Box Tops this year, PTSA would earn over $1000.00 to support efforts for Carver.
