This post is to raise awareness of the Box Tops for Education program. The General Mills Box Tops for Education are each worth 10 cents and are found on such General Mills products as: Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Total, Fruit by the Foot, Fruit Roll-ups, Fruit Gushers, Dunkaroos, Yoplait yogurt multipacks, Potato Buds, Suddenly Salad, Bisquick, Yoplait Go-Gurt yogurt, Bac-os, Supermoist cake mix, Betty Crocker frosting, Betty Crocker supreme brownies, Betty Crocker supreme dessert bars, Betty Crocker potato side dishes, Lloyd`s barbeque buckets, Hamburger Helper, Chicken
Helper, and Tuna Helper.
My son's elementary school is saving these Box Tops. Last year`s efforts generated over $900 for the school; the goal
for the 2001-2002 school year is $1100.
General Mills is offering a new incentive program called the Box Tops for Education Honor Roll. The Honor Roll recognizes schools that have met a stretch goal set by General Mills based on last year's participation in the program. To reach the goal General Mills has set for my son's elementary school, the school needs to collect 600 more box tops (to date for this year we have collected over 6000!) between now and March 30th. The reward for reaching the goal will be 800 additional box tops ($80). The school will also be recognized for its efforts on the Box Tops for Education website http://www.boxtops4education.com. Isn't that neat?
So far my cyber friends who have so graciously agreed to help me with this project have collected over 1100 box tops for me! On behalf of my son's school, THANK YOU!!!
I'm on a mission to try to recruit as many new cyber friends as I can to help collect box tops for me to help the school reach its stretch goal and be on the General Mills Honor Roll!
If anyone is interested in saving these for me, please send me an email at [email protected].
If folks would rather collect box tops for their own community, that is great! I am sure the schools would greatly appreciate the support. The idea is to get folks
within communities to participate. Just be sure to check with office staff first to be sure your school participates in the program.

I forgot to mention that I spoke to the coordinator of the box tops program at my son's school and she told me that the school reached its stretch goal that General Mills set for it! That means the school will be on the General Mills Box Tops Honor Roll! Yippy Skippy! That information hasn't been added to the box tops for education website yet, but when it is, I will be sure to post it for everyone to read.
The school couldn't have reached this major milestone without your help! THANK YOU!!

Hi Sunshine! Please send some of that warm weather to Michigan - we sure could use it! Last week we were basking in 80 degree weather - over the weekend we were watching it snow!
I would love to hear more about the various fund raising projects your childrens school is involved in - please send me an email - [email protected] and I can go into more details on what my sons school PTO has been doing this year to raise money.
