Box Tops for Education

OCTOBER 2008 PROMOTION:  PLEASE READ

Welcome to another great year at Blackwell Elementary! My name is Kathy Haase and I’m the volunteer coordinator for Box Tops for Education. This year, our goal is to raise $1000 to support our school.

One of the easiest ways you can help is to collect Box Tops from hundreds of participating General Mills products. Box Tops are worth 10˘ each when our school redeems them from General Mills.

You can also help by joining the Box Tops for Education Booster Clubs at www.boxtops4education.com. Signing up takes only a few minutes. Booster Club members have two extra ways to earn cash for our school through everyday activities like buying groceries, shopping online, and making purchases with a credit card – all at no additional cost.

Shop - Shop your favorite online stores at the Box Tops Marketplace. Up to 8% of each qualifying purchase is donated to our school. Remember to start every online shopping trip through links at the Box Tops Marketplace to earn cash for our school. We have over 200 of your favorite stores including JCPenney and Lands’ End.

Charge - Earn a full 1% on every purchase for our school with the Box Tops Visa® card. You get a low APR and no annual fee. Apply at www.boxtops4education.com or call 1-800-650-0235.

If everyone helps, we can earn more cash for our school than ever before. Check on our progress throughout the year by visiting www.boxtops4education.com. Remember to tell your friends and family near and far to sign up, too, and help us reach our goal.

Collection boxes will be placed in each classroom. The class collecting the most box tops will be rewarded with a special activity/party (more info later!!)

Thank you for making a difference for our school. Please contact me if you have any questions at kathy@haasehome.com.
