Boxes to benefit Cabot schools

By The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

LITTLE ROCK — Fundraisers from the Cabot School District are looking for Cabot businesses willing to host Box Tops for Education collection containers.

Box Tops for Education is a program from General Mills and other companies that donates 10 centers per each box top to the local school district. Schools may earn up to $10,000 a year.

Participating businesses will be provided with a professional-looking collection container with a colorful 8.5-by-11-inch sign, declaring the business a "Box Tops for Education collection site." Volunteers from the school will empty the container periodically or at the request of the business.

Businesses interested in participating should e-mail roberta.calhoun@cps.k12.ar.us.
