This past week I was delighted to attend the National Box Tops University at General Mills World Headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota! What fun!
Okay, having never been to Minnesota, I didn't know what to expect. It's June, so I gladly accepted feeling safe from snow drifts and avalanches! :)
Seriously, the General Mills Box Tops Team was phenomenal. They are an outstanding group. We were so thrilled to check out Lake Minnetonka via a chartered Dinner Cruise just for us.
Here I interview Sara Weis of Marketing at General Mills on Box Tops for Education:
The views were spectacular. I was taken aback by the lush, green surroundings. We had great Mom Bloggers, and General Mills and PR staff to enjoy the evening with and great food. Did I say the weather was perfect! Here's my live video of us cruising!
Top Things I Learned at Box Tops University 2011:
First of all I learned that Box Tops have earned schools $59 Million Dollars in the last year! Phenomenal!
Hanes4Education.com gives a Box Top for each Tee Shirt ordered for Field Day, Field Trips, etc. for schools.
Green Giant FRESH PRODUCE is now partnered for Box Tops for Schools! :) Yes, Broccoli and Cauliflower and Green Beans and Lettuce count towards your Box Tops!

ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful. I love the Titanic picture.
ReplyDeleteIt is so great to hear all the brands that will now have Box Tops. Yay for all of Betty Crocker too, because I always got confused on which ones did and ones that didn't.
KUDOS to connecting with the mom bloggers to spread the word out.
