Green Giant Raise a Giant

At Green Giant, we know it takes a lot more to raise a healthy child then just getting them to eat their vegetables.  One of the hardest things kids have to deal with is bullying.

That's why Green Giant is partnering with PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center and We Day Minnesota to help parents RAISE A GIANT and put a stop to bullying in their community.

Being a giant means standing up for others.  Lend a hand to those in trouble and speak up for those who sometimes find it hard to speak up for themselves.  My own child and his friends have demonstrated this in school when a special needs child was being made fun of, they let the child's aide know.  They knew that wasn't okay to be happening and had the courage to stand up.

Our local school district has also taken a stand on bullying.

Talk to your child about the RAISE A GIANT anti-bullying campaign.  Take a look at their website for tips and ideas.

U.S. Cellular CAC Campaign

U.S. Cellular's Calling All Communities (CAC) Campaign will return for the fifth year November 4-25 and now is the time to prepare and rally your community to support a local school.

It challenges schools to rally community support to vote for their school for the chance to win a share of $500,000 to fund what their students need the most.

The top 20 schools that garner the most community votes will each win $25,000 to use as they wish to enhance their educational experience.

There is only one vote per person.

Here are some ways U.S. Cellular suggests to get involved:

When the campaign launches, there will be a printable flyer on the website to help spread the word.  Get sports teams, school board or student groups to hand out flyers, as well as asking local businesses to share flyers with their customers.

Post information on your school's website with a link to the U.S. Cellular website for updates.

Since the program began in 2008, U.S. Cellular has awarded $4 million to 56 Schools across the country. Past winners of CAC used their prize money in a variety of ways:  new computers, renovating gyms, kitchens and science labs.  Even some awarded scholarships or made donations.  What school couldn't use money to invest in advance technology in schools to enhance children's educational goals?

U.S. Cellular is an active member of their customers' communities and believes this campaign is a great way to engage all of their communities to work towards a common goal.

Check U.S. Cellular's website for your local U.S. Cellular location for more information.

Is your school interested and needs more information?  If so, please let me know below in the comments and I will be sure to repost links when the campaign launches.

U.S. Cellular Rewards Program

The U.S. Cellular Rewards Program is a fantastic way to get accessories, upgrade your plan faster and even earn a Galaxy S4.

Whether you are new to U.S. Cellular or a long time customer, signing up for a rewards-eligible plan means you can start earning points toward faster phone upgrades (great since everyone loves a new phone).  It's so easy to earn points.  From daily perks apps to birthday points, you are on your way to a great reward in no time.

U.S. Cellular offers a valuable rewards program that recognizes loyalty.  Being a long time customer like me, means points every six months for just staying on your plan and even more after 3 years.  Registering is easy and you will start to earn points quickly every month to use for a variety of rewards.  Check out how many points you can earn by viewing the plans page.

You can redeem points in store, online, or by calling Customer Service and managing your points is a snap using "My Account".  Here are some really cool things to use your points on:

Ringling Bros Circus tickets (who knew?), accessories like carrying cases, headsets, earphones and speakers.  What about a new ringtone?  If you are tired of the same old ringtone and want to add some fun, Tone Room Deluxe at U.S. Cellular gives you loads of choices.  I found some fun tones I want to add to my phone.  That and they also have a hard shell case I plan on getting.  Who hasn't dropped their phone before?

In addition to earning points by simply being a U.S. Cellular customer on a rewards-eligible plan, you can also earn points by referring a friend.  Referring a friend earns a whopping 4000 points and your friend gets 4000 points too.  That is a great perk.

A previous post of mine introduced you to device workshops held at your local U.S. Cellular store.  You can earn points by attending one.  U.S. Cellular treats their customers like neighbors, not numbers.

How do you plan on using your rewards?  Let me know in the comment section below.

U.S. Cellular Better Moments

U.S. Cellular's Samsung Galaxy S 4/Galaxy Tab 10.1 makes it easier to share Better Moments with friends and family and stay connected to those most important to you.

U.S. Cellular's Samsung Galaxy S 4/Galaxy Tab 10.1 not only saves you time, but can make your life easier.

Life's best moments sometimes happen when least expected and wireless technology can help make them better and more frequent for families and friends.  It's so nice to be able to connect wirelessly to the internet anywhere in my home or outside.  It lets family members be able to share things like photos on Facebook, and I can see what they are up to no matter how far away they are from me.

Whether at home or on the go, U.S. Cellular's Samsung Galaxy S 4/Galaxy Tab 10.1 provides the tools needed to help you create, discover, enhance and share life's Better Moments with your family.

Find your perfect tablet at U.S. Cellular.  As part of the U.S. Cellular Blogger Brigade, I received a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1  I've had a little time to play with it this summer and here are some of my favorite things to do with it.

Samsung has some great apps.  They have a game to play and you can win a $5 gift card to use on more apps, and then easily set up an account. Cool, I just won it.  Now to look at the tons of apps to pick from.

I love the camera program.  We have been having fun using the cartoon mode.  Snap a picture and you have been made into a cartoon.  I actually did that and took a picture of myself for a twitter sweeps to win tickets to our Wisconsin State Fair and Brewer game, wearing state fair and brewers gear.  Yes, I won.  Yeah for me!  Photoshop Touch is preloaded on this as well.

The other program I have been using is Polaris Office.  I was having problems with my home computer and was frustrated by it and downloading documents attached in emails.  I logged into my email on my tablet and bingo, no problems downloading my documents with updates on my son's football games.  I can quickly refer to the schedule on the go.  They had changes in scrimmage dates and times, so it really helped me to have the tablet this summ

One of my print magazine subscriptions allows you to access it via tablet.  That's just one of the things I like about my tablet.

Another thing I like to do is check out savings be it deals or coupons.  There are so many coupon apps like ibotta.

As its back to school time, the S Planner has kept me on track of appointments and school registration days. It's easy to add a task and use the tool.

Let me know in the comment section how you use your Tablet to keep all your priorities in order, with the first being enjoying Better Moments with your family and friends.
