BOX TOPS for EDUCATION The PTO receives 10 cents for each box top that we submit. Last
year we earned $2,787.30! There are over 330 General Mills prod-
ucts that contain box tops. All you need to do is cut out the box top
and send it to school with your child in an
envelope marked “Box tops” and your child’s teacher’s name. We are having a
CLASSROOM COMPETITION like we did last year, and the winning classroom gets
a pizza party! Second and third place classrooms get a popsicle party sponsored by
the PTO. To view the eligible products, go to www.boxtops4education.com.
LABELS for EDUCATION Through this program, we can collect UPCs and beverage caps from
participating products to earn points that can be redeemed for FREE
educational merchandise! With a goal to collect 1000 points that we
can redeem for wish list items chosen by Dr. Winner and our teach-
ers, we need your participation! It's easy to help—simply save UPCs
and beverage caps from participating products and drop them off in the classroom. Please check out
www.labelsforeducation.com if you have any questions about clipping.
