Please send Box Tops labels to school by Feb. 26

Calling all Cheerios eaters! We're looking for your Box Tops by this Wednesday, Feb. 26! And not just Cheerios--Box Tops can be found on all General Mills cereals and a wide array of other products including Kleenex tissues, Betty Crocker baking mixes, Nature Valley granola bars, Gogurt, Hefty products and more!

Clip the small, rectangular Box Top logo from the package and send them to school with your child. Each one is worth 10 cents, so our collective clippings can add up to hundreds of dollars for Lucas. Our extreme gratitude to those who send them sorted into baggies of 50 (which is how we have to send them in for redemption.)

Classrooms with the highest number of Box Tops collected will celebrate with a cookie snack next month.

Do you have a five-year-old or a neighbor who is or will soon be five? Spread the word--Kindergarten Registration is this Thursday, Feb. 27 at all Iowa City Community School District elementary schools from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
