  About Box Tops for Education
  General Mills provides a program to our schools that benefits grade k-8th that is referred to as the Box TJoin the Box Tops for Education Booster Club and support Our Schoolop Program. General Mills sends the Hanover PTA a check twice a year for each school with a total that reflects the amount of box tops clipped from participating products and the percentage due from the online shopping purchases at the 60 plus participating brand named stores. Hanover Schools have been committed to this program since 2003 and continue to push to raise awareness of this program. The more families, neighbors, friends, co-workers, and businesses that help us by clipping box tops and start their online shopping purchases at  www.boxtops4education.com,  the more money that can be raised  to benefit the Hanover students. Each year General Mills offers each of the 3 Hanover schools up to $40,000 to  clip box tops and shop online. Everyone that participates will put us closer to reach this goal.
