(09/29/2004)
Pleasant Hill School needs some new playground equipment.

The school has launched their 2004-05 Box Tops for Education fund-raising campaign.

This year the school has set a goal of earning $1000 through Box Tops to purchase equipment.

Box Tops for Education is a school fund program sponsored by General Mills. Since 1996, Box Tops has helped America's schools raise over $100 million to buy the things they need such as library books, school supplies, and playground equipment.

The Box Tops for Education program offers school supporters three easy ways to earn cash for schools through everyday activities like buying groceries, shopping on-line, and making purchases with a credit card.

Schools can earn a total of up to $60,000 each year.

Clip, the original Box Tops for Education program, allows schools to earn cash by clipping Box Tops from participating Box Tops products.

Schools get 10 cents for each Box Top they redeem from General Mills. For a complete list of the hundreds of participating products, visit boxtops4education.com.
