Villisca and Stanton K-8 can receive up to $20,000 through the BoxTops for Education program from General Mills. It may seem unlikely that either school could submit enough box tops to earn the full $20,000 because of the size of the school districts but that is the potential and with the tight budgets in both school districts, can we not say "Every 10¢ counts." Occasionally, there are special offers for the BoxTops program. Check them out at our BoxTops for Education Page. Clip Box Tops from hundreds of your favorite General Mills products. Each Box Top is worth 10¢ to the school. That is 10¢ just for tearing of the boxtop or the label before you toss the box or container. You have the choice of 45 cereals; 15 Pillsbury and Yoplait refrigerator/dairy products, 24 meals/sides including the Hamburger/Chicken/ Tuna/Pork Helper line, Old El Paso products, Betty Crocker potato products; Pillsbury, Green Giant and Totino's frozen products; Betty Crocker baking products and a selection of snack products. If you are a business owner, you can further help earn that $20,000 by using the BoxTops for Education Visa card and even more by buying your office products online just by starting your shopping at the BoxTops web site. For more information, go to the BoxTops website.

If you are from out of town, you can send the boxtops to Enarson Elementary School, 219 Central Avenue, Villisca, IA 50864 or to Stanton Elementary School, 605 Elliott St., Stanton, IA 51573.
