General Mills Box Top $ for Education: Custer has participated in this program for many years now and this year the program has expanded. Now instead of 1 way to collect box tops $, there are 3 ways.

The first way is the one that Custer is most familiar with. The Clip program. The Clip program makes it simple to earn cash for your school. Make a difference each time you go to the grocery store by purchasing your favorite participating Box Tops products. 1) Clip Box Tops coupons from hundreds of General Mills products found throughout your local grocery store. 2) Send Box Tops to School, Turn in your Box Tops coupons to your favorite school. Custer School will collect submitted Box Tops and send them to General Mills. If you shop at Ferndale Cost Cutter, you may also leave them in a Box Top $ for Education container with Custer Elementary name on it. 3) Your School Earns Cash - General Mills will pay your school 10¢ for each Box Tops coupon redeemed. Remember, you must clip around the box top where indicated and the date must be visible.

The second way is to Shop. Start every online shopping trip at the Box Tops Marketplace and your school earns up to 10% of each qualifying purchase. You need to register so go to THIS website to register.

The third way is to use their credit card. This card is provided by First USA, a Bank One Company. Use this low APR, no annual fee Box Tops Visa card at more than 20 million locations worldwide. A full 1% of each purchase goes back to your school. You may apply on line HERE
