Hello Everyone,
I am posting this as a part of the fundraising effort at our local school. They are collecting donations for the General Mills Box tops for education as a fundraiser that is sponsored by our schools PTA that I am a member.
What we are collecting them for is funding for special education programs. With the budget short falls that are happening this year from the legislature, one of the areas that are going to trimmed back if not completely cut is the special education for the slightly slower kids. I for one don’t want that to happen. So with your help, we can at least keep the program alive.
Anyway, one of the things my Daughter’s elementary school is doing to raise money is to save the "Box Tops for Education" logos from General Mills & Betty Crocker products. 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, Potato Buds, Suddenly Salad, Bisquick, Yoplait Yogurt, Betty Crocker Super moist cake mix, Frosting, Supreme brownies, Supreme dessert bars, Potato side dishes, Betty Crocker Magazine, Lloyd’s barbeque sauce meals in the buckets, Hamburger Helper, Chicken Helper, and Tuna Helper and many other General Mills items.
The logos do have an expiration date on them so please check them to make sure they are still current. So as you clip the logos from the various General Mills & Betty Crocker packages, please check to make sure the expiration date is far enough in advance that when I receive them from you they will still be valid.
By the way, I personally will be collecting them throughout the year and will add them to the PTA’s collection at every monthly meeting.
If anyone is interested in saving these for my kids or wishes to send them directly to the school, please send me an email at [email protected] and I can send you the address on which you can send them.
