“Ready, Set, School” Sweepstakes with Nestlé Family {Spotlight}

Posted by on Sep 13, 2009 in Past Giveaways, Products | 246 comments

Doesn’t the first day of school feel an awful lot like New Year’s Day?  I mean, you’ve opened all the new pencils and notebooks and cool little supplies – which seems so much like unwrapping Christmas presents, doesn’t it? – and you’re usually making a mental list of all the resolutions you’re going to keep this year.  Maybe it’s more hot breakfasts in the morning, or healthier snacks in the lunchbox.  Maybe it’s homework done before dinnertime, or the commitment to actually having a set dinnertime.   Back-to-school so often feels like “back-to-life,” it really does remind me of the New Year.

Nestlé Family recognizes this trend, and in celebration of new beginnings and new goals, they’ve launched the “Ready, Set, School” Sweepstakes as part of their “Happy New SCHOOL Year!” campaign.

Nestle's Happy New SCHOOL Year!

From now through September 30, you can visit the Nestlé Family site every day for a chance to win the “Ready, Set, School” Grand Prize of $5,000 for back-to-school essentials, plus a $2,000 literacy grant for your school.  (all sweepstakes rules found here) Every day you enter, you are also eligible to win the Daily Prize – a Five Star messenger bag filled with Mead and Five Star products.

  • Kelly Grant

    My stepson reads and can do math at a higher grade level than he is, but he doesn’t think he should have to do his grade level work, only the higher stuff. So our resolution this year is to do ALL of his work.

  • Marie N

    Our main resolution for this new school year is to study harder and get smarter just like the President asked us to do. His story has been a source of inspiration to the entire family (excluding the 2-year-old) and has created an atmosphere were we can talk more openly about our dreams and aspirations. Even this mom is planning to go back to college in 2010.
