Collect Boxtops for Education!
         General Mills launched Box Tops for Education in 1996 on its cereal boxes. Since then, the program has given more than $400 million to schools across the country. Today, 30,000 schools participate in this nationwide fundraising program. New products are being added to the program constantly, so keep your eye out for the logo on your favorite products.
       
Grab your scissors and keep an eye out for the Box Tops for Education logo on the products you use every day. Scan the shelves at the grocery store and consider switching to Box Top brands if the products you purchase don't participate. Participating companies and product lines include General Mills, Green Giant, Totino's, Pillsbury, Old El Paso, Ziploc, Hefty, Juicy Juice, Betty Crocker and many more.
        Once you've finished with the product, clip the Box Top before you throw the product away. Be sure to look over the whole box: Some packages offer bonus Box Tops. Simply send the clipped Box Tops into school with your child. They can be pasted on the monthly collections sheets or simply put into a plastic bag.  Make sure your student’s name is on the box tops so they can be recognized on Forest Lake Today. 
       Start clipping Box Tops for Education. Hundreds of products participate in the program, and you probably already have several in your pantry, freezer and fridge. For every Box Top you clip, your child's school will receive 10 cents. That may not sound like a lot, but it adds up quickly. Each school can receive up to $20,000 per school year from clipped Box Tops.


We also participate in Campbell’s Labels for Education.
       Labels for Education a fun and easy program where families and members of the community work together to “Earn Free Stuff” for their school!  By collecting UPCs and beverage/sauce caps from over 2,500 participating products our school earns points that can be redeemed for Arts, Athletics, and Academics merchandise.
     From soup, cereal and snacks to dairy products, beverages and food storage – your kitchen’s probably full of eligible Labels for Education® items. Get clipping and start earning free stuff for your school!  Just place them in a plastic bag with your name and teacher’s name and bring them to the Media Center.  We will recognize your contribution on Forest Lake Today!
