An easy way to help our Copper Kids at school

Each year the students of Copperopolis Elementray diligently collect Box Tops for Education from cereal boxes, clothing packages, frozen foods, etc, all to help raise funds for the school. They also collect Campbell's Soup Labels.
Funds raised go into the PTC fund which in turn purchases sports equipment, classroom supplies, field trip transportation, assembly education/entertainment and more.
If you would like to collect Box Tops or Campbell's Soup labels and would like to donate them to the school, you can drop them off in the office during school hours.
