Dear Nixon Parents:

Welcome to another year of collecting Box Tops for Education! If you’re not familiar with it, Box Tops for Education is a terrific program sponsored by General Mills.

Box tops coupons can be found on many General Mills products including food items like Honey Nut Cheerios and non-food items like Kleenex. (see the list of participating products in the table of contents at left) All you have to do is cut them out and send them in to Nixon. We’ll do the rest.

Did you know that Nixon School can earn up to $20,000.00 per year simply by collecting General Mills box tops?

Last year, Nixon earned $1005.00 collecting box tops! The student council voted on how to spend the money and decided to buy much-needed sports equipment for the playground. This year our goal is $2500.00 and the student council will have the opportunity to vote again.

To make collecting fun for kids, there are collection sheets that you can download and print. (see table of contents at left) Or, feel free to use a plastic bag or envelope!

If your family is not participating, give it a try. Chances are you’re throwing away box tops without even knowing it. Each box top that we collect is worth 10 cents. Super box tops earn 30 cents!

If every child brought in 5 box tops per month, Nixon would earn $2500.00 this year – it’s that easy!!

Please encourage your kids to get involved!

Thank you!
