How it works:
The Cheerios® Send Cheer to Teachers program makes it simple to thank your favorite teacher from your childhood days or your child’s current teacher. Parents can show their gratitude, support, and appreciation by cutting a special postcard for teachers from specially-marked boxes of Cheerios® cereal.
Locate a specially-marked Cheerios® cereal box in your grocery store now through mid-October, 2013. After purchasing the box, follow these three easy steps:
Cut out the poscard found on the front of the box.
On the back-side of the postcard, write a message of appreciation or a simple "thank you."
Share Cheer with your teacher!
Cheerios®, together with Box Tops for Education, are also offering the chance to win even more cheer for your school throughout the year. Teachers spend on average $398 of their own money on supplies and resources, and 92 percent of teachers use their own money to provide supplies for their students, according to the National School Supply and Equipment Association. Through a new Cheerios® Send Cheer to Teachers sweepstakes, parents can help alleviate this burden from teachers by entering for a chance to win a $20,000 prize package or one of four $5,000 prize packages made up of bonus Box Tops and supplies - courtesy of Box Tops for Education, Avery®, and Ziploc® products - for a child’s school.
After you send Cheer, enter the unique code from inside the box online at btfe.com/sendcheer to earn one bonus Box Top for the school of your choice and enter for a chance to win the sweepstakes.
