Each year the students of St. Francis Xavier Preparatory School collect Box Tops from participating General Mills' products to raise money for their school. Last year they collected nearly 11,000 Box Tops bringing in almost $1,100! (Each Box Top is worth 10 cents) This year the students hope to do even better.
You can help their effort by clipping the Box Top logo from specially marked products and either deposit them in the specially marked collection box in the vestibule of the church or by mailing them directly to the school (SFXP 33 Cross Street Hyannis, MA 02601).
