Woodstock Elementary School (WES) parent Carlene Hotz has won 50,000 box tops for the school in an online sweepstakes. The box tops can be traded in for $5,000 in school supplies, equipment or other rewards.

The contest, Box Tops for Education "Dimes in Disguise," sponsored by General Mills, already has transferred 50,000 box tops to the school's account to spend. Each box top has a value of 10 cents to trade in for school supplies. The school earnings loyalty program allows parents to turn in special labels from boxes of food products to earn rewards for their school.

Hotz is the mother of WES fourth-grader Matthew and first-grader Michael.

"The school is grateful for this unexpected but much-needed gift," said Principal Kim Montalbano, adding that she is researching funding options for an additional computer lab at the school. "This will certainly help with the cost of this project."
