BOXTOPS
FOR EDUCATION
What is
Box Tops? Box Tops for Education is a program sponsored
by General Mills. Each Box Top is worth $.10. Although this may
not sound like much, we received $950. last year from Box Tops –
not bad for something that would otherwise go in the garbage.
How do
I participate? A list of participating products will be
sent home with your child and can also be found at btfe.com.
Clip Box Tops from the product package along the dotted lines.
Put your student’s name on the back. They can deposit them in
the box in the office and be entered to win prizes during Friday
