Have your kids gone back to school? Are you sad, relieved or a little of both?  My grandkids are all back in school and loving it so far.  Mid-week sleepovers at my house have come to an end, but I do get to spend time with them after school and on weekends. And I love having a chance to help schools in need.Kellogg's Helping Schools

A Trip to Sam’s Club

This past weekend, two of my grandsons went to Sam’s Club with me to stock up on after-school snacks and quick breakfast options.  It’s so much easier to buy snacks they really like when the kids are with me.

A Chance to Help A School in Need

Product Demo

We were in luck because there was a Kellogg’s product demo in full swing, so naturally, the boys headed in that direction.  Kellogg's Demo

Head to the Cereal Aisle

After the tasting, we headed to the cereal aisle to check out the special logo on the Kellogg’s products mentioning Free Books, 1 Box = 2 Books.  Free?  Did someone say free?  I’m all over free books AND a chance to help schools in need. (Keep reading, we’ll get to that part later)

A Change to Help a School in Need

Thanks to my mom and 1st-grade teacher, I think books are the best things ever invented and I’m so glad that the love of books has been passed on to my grandkids as well.  I read to them every chance I get.  The older grandsons read to me every chance they get.

Redeem Free Books

After stocking up on Kellogg’s snacks, we headed home to redeem our free books. It looks like a lot of steps, but it’s really simple.  Here’s what you do:

It is great how Sams Club and Kelloggs can help schools by donating. We as parents can help by purchasing Kelloggs products.

Nice! My next door neighbor has a card and sometimes I send her to pick me up goodies. I will add this to my list! Our family is big on books. The way I got into reading was by getting free books from the library and other school programs. It’s SO important that all kids have access to books early so they can grow their love of reading like I did 🙂

I think that anything to do with books is awesome. I think kids should read a lot more than they do it gives them the tools to do so many things in life. Great program!

I thought a new book was one of the best things as a kid and I still do! It’s a great day when one of my favorite authors comes out with something new. Love seeing kids get started early with good books like I did.

That’s such a great program. My kids eat a lot of cereal and it’s great that I can redeem codes for free books. Plus, my girls are always looking for more books to read.

This sounds like an amazing program! Reading is so so essential for everyone, but you sure build the “reader’s” habit early on!

What a great way to help schools by something you already have to do. I wish more companies would offer programs like these.

Wow! That is a great program for schools! Sam’s Club is really stepping up to the plate and doing their part in communities. This isn’t the first program I’ve seen them initiate. I’m very impressed. I need to look into getting a membership! I love companies who give back!

That is so cool that Kellog’s was set up there. We used to go to Sam’s club all the time but now we have to travel a lot to get there.

It has been awhile since I’ve been to Sam’s Club, but I love that they’re doing this. It is such a wonderful way to help schools out!

I love that they donate to the schools. It’s so important because they need all the extra they can get with their budgets constantly being cut. We go back to school at the end of August so one more week of Summer! I’m both sad and glad. Haha

Thanks for sharing valuable information.
Every child should be given a chance to succeed! Schools can’t do it all by themselves. If we don’t find a way to engage parents then we are not gonna get it done. It is well documented and pure common sense that parents involved in child’s education boosts student learning and Improves well behavior and student attendance.
