General Mills is changing the way that it manages its
“Box Tops for Education” fundraising program. Roberge Elementary School has received
significant benefits from your past participation in Box Tops – over $30,000 throughout the
years! We appreciate your assistance and hope that you will continue to help us raise money for our school using this new
procedure.
The transition to the new, totally digital collection of points will take a few months, so
please bear with us.
If you have earlier versions of the Box Tops from packages on your shelves,
please clip them and send them in to school as usual.
If over the next few months you purchase a product in the store that still has one of the old
coupons on it, please clip it AND ALSO scan your receipt as described below. Most brands
are awarding BOTH the receipt scan earnings and the traditional clip earnings for a single
item purchased during this time of transition!
To process the new digital coupons, there will be no more clipping! You must, however,
keep and scan your receipt from the grocery store using the free app you can download on
your smart phone. Once you have downloaded the app (see below) and designated Roberge Elementary School
as your donation recipient, the scanning application will use your phone to scan the store
receipt and automatically locate and record the eligible products. The app will then instantly
credit the $.10 per item donation to our school.
You may start doing this today! Let’s put our tech-savvy (and scissor proficient) kids to
work to cash in on every old and new coupon we can!
