A commitment to teaching and raising “good little humans”
Jefferson Elementary is using the $10,000 donation to support its Playworks program, which brings in additional staff to help students learn how to play and develop skills to resolve issues independently on the playground. The administration is confident that this program has the potential to prevent problems before they start while teaching students life-long communication skills.
With Yoplait’s commitment to providing experiences for kids and families to connect through play, they felt like this was the perfect opportunity to team up with Box Tops.
“Yoplait exists to help families raise kids that are happy, healthy and strong, one serving of good at time,” says Rachel Letsche, assistant manager, Brand Experience, Yoplait. “We know that Box Tops believes that a child’s education is the foundation to achieving their fullest potential, so we thought that by coming together, we could help schools and parents both teach and raise ‘good little humans’.”
Supporting Schools in Need
The Yoplait partnership is the first co-branded effort that Box Tops has underway in a series of stories highlighting Schools in Need.
Through a new Schools in Need [1] search feature in its mobile app, Box Tops is empowering shoppers in every community to support students who need it the most.

“Kids are the future and if we can support them in these fundamental years, there’s a difference we can make in society and the world,” says Letsche.
