UPDATE: Winner has been chosen...and, drumroll please...it's Julie!! Congratulations, Julie!! Your profile doesn't have an email address with it, so please email me and I will have your prize pack sent to you ASAP!! Congrats, girl!! Enjoy your brownies and all the cute back-to-school goodies!!
It's that time of year when kids load up their backpacks and lunch sacks and head back-to-school!!
And time for us, as parents, to start looking for ways we can help out at the school and in the classroom.
One of the easiest ways you can help your school out is by participating in the
Box Tops for Education program.
Box Tops for Education has been around since 1996. Simple, easy, and convenient- it's an easy way for parents to give back to their children's school while buying and using their favorite brand products.
Box Tops for Education provides schools with earnings to buy new supplies for their schools- from games and library books, to computers and playground equipment. Last year over $59 million was distributed to schools that participated in the Box Tops program...all because parents collected box tops from products they already use!!
Our school collects Box Tops for a variety of projects. Recently, our Box Tops have been used to purchase new playground equipment, as well as invest in
smart boards for each of our classrooms. Way Cool, and great use of our fundraising money!!!
One of my favorite treats just happens to participate in the
Box Tops for Education program, and I've been asked to (shamelessly) give their company some "face time" on my blog. So, I'm just gonna be straightforward with y'all. Here goes...
Betty Crocker, I love you. I love your brownies, I love your cake mixes, and I love that you are the
only brand in the baking aisle that contributes to the Box Tops Program. Not only do you care about filling my little munchkins' tummies (and mine too!!) with warm, ooey, gooey brownies, but you care about filling their
brains with everything they need for a strong education by giving back to our local schools.
The good news...The opinions above are all my own. Obviously. However,
Betty Crocker has thanked me for my time with a box of brownie mix, some cupcake shaped magnetic bookmarks, pencils, notepads, cupcake bag, and Neoprene lunch sack.
The better news...I am going to bake those brownies and share them and the other goodies with my kids' new teachers.
The best news...I am going to share another prize pack with one of you!!
That's right...it's like "Oprah's Favorite Things" here at Mommy-of-three-reviews. OK...maybe a tad bit shy of her giveaways. Ahem. But nonetheless. Whether you choose to keep the goodies yourself or pass them along to your favorite teacher, PTO president, or principal is your choice. But remember that every time you use a
Betty Crocker product and save the box top, you are passing along
educational goodies to your local schools, and that makes your kids the
real winners!!
The Betty Crocker products, information, and giveaway have been provided by Betty Crocker through MyBlogSpark. |
Wanna win a prize pack?? OF COURSE YOU DO!!! Leave a comment on this post letting me know that I'm not the only one who could eat an entire pan of brownies by myself. Just leave any comment about Betty Crocker. Or brownies. Or box tops. It's up to you!! A winner will be drawn on September 24th from all entries received. Do it for your kids. Do it for teachers. Do it for America. Do it for the free box of brownies!!
And on that note, I'm off to indulge in some pipin' fresh brownies...err...Flaxseed. Yeah, that's it. Flaxseed.
