Congratulation goes out to our own Jasmine DeCarish for creating the Box Tops for Education Online app for General Mills!!!!! Working late night hours (sometimes not going to bed until 2 a.m.), being away on vacation and still putting in late hours and planning our first family reunion didn’t stop Jazz from meeting her deadline to submit the app to iTunes. As of September 7, 2016, the Box Tops for Education app has successfully gone live for both Apple iOS and Android phone users!!!!! The Box Tops for Education app is a receipt scanning app. There are offers listed in the app, and when you buy the participating product(s), you can scan your receipt and the school you're registered to gets the money. Go and download the app guys and help schools get the money they need in order to keep education costs down. Keep up the great work Jazz, we are proud of you!!!!
