St. Gilbert's Raises Nearly $5000 Through Annual Box Tops For Education Collections

In an effort to raise additional funds in supporting school programs, Saint Gilbert Catholic School participates in General Mills’ Box Tops for Education program and has achieved $22,000 since 2002. This program is an easy way for parents and students to earn cash that goes directly to the school – and at no cost - by simply clipping Box Tops coupons from many every day products. Each Box Top coupon is worth 10 cents when redeemed.

“Box Tops for Education has been a great way to get both our students and families involved in passive fundraising,” said Alison O’Connor, Principal, Saint Gilbert Catholic School. “Our Box Tops contests make it fun for the students and teachers while helping raise substantial funds that benefit the operation of our school. We have received tremendous support from our school and church community. Plus, we’ve seen it’s such a great way to generate school spirit,” added Mrs. O’Connor.

If community members are interested in contributing to Saint Gilbert’s School efforts by donating Box Tops or learning more about the school, please contact the school office by email at school.office@stgilbertschool.org.
