Box Tops For Education
Welcome to the 2008-09
Box Tops for Education Program

Welcome to the 2008-2009 school year, we hope you all have had a great summer. For those of you new to Consolidated School and the Box Tops for Education program, let us take a minute to give you some great information. Box Tops for Education is a school fundraiser sponsored by General Mills for elementary schools with grades K-8. Each school can earn up to $60,000 annually. The $60,000 can be earned in three different ways – Clipping Box Tops, using a Visa card sponsored by Box Tops for Education, or by shopping at the Box Top Marketplace. This past year students clipped 22,500 Box Tops to benefit the PTO and it's programs.

Clipping Box Tops

Box Tops for Education are found on a variety of products found in your local market, mass merchants (WAL-MART, Target, K-Mart) and Warehouse Clubs (Sam’s, Costco, BJ’s). You will find them on items such as cereal, snack products (Go-Gurt, fruit snacks, etc.), Huggies diapers & wipes, Ziploc products, Pillsbury, Green Giant, Juicy Juices and many more. See the attached listing for a full product listing. Also, at special times of the year there are bonus Box Tops, such as right now - there are bonus Box Tops for back to school on many items you use daily! All you need to do is clip the Box Top off your products, collect them and send them in with your child(ren). Each classroom is credited for their students Box Tops and each month the top collecting classrooms are rewarded with a special treat for the whole class! NOTE: Please clip around the box top along the dotted line!

The Box Tops Visa Card
The Box Tops Rebate card is a Visa card that rebates a percentage of your total purchases placed on the card. Please refer to www.boxtops4education.com website for full program details.

Shopping the Box Tops Marketplace
Start by going to www.boxtops4education.com and click on the Marketplace. There are links to 60+ merchants who will donate a percentage of your sale to our school. It doesn’t cost a thing for your participation, just shopping through the Box Tops store URL link instead typing in the direct website URL address. Some of the participating stores are Oriental Trading, Pottery Barn, Lands End, HearthSong, Highlights and Harry & David among many others.

Also, if you just register to receive a monthly e-mail from Box Tops at their website and sign up for Consolidated, our school will earn 5 Box Tops. It’s that easy!

Box Tops for Education is a great way to earn free money for our schools. Most are products we use everyday at home, and it just takes a moment of your time to take the box top off. Get your extended family, friends and neighbors involved in saving Box Tops for our school. It only takes a moment in time to earn our school an extra dime!
