Support your school with Box Tops for Education

When I was a little girl, day dreaming about how I would one day be married and have children of my own, I always imagined myself as the mom who would volunteer. The mom who would help in the classroom, who would organize fundraisers and be a “team mom”. I wanted to be “that mom” so badly, it’s all I dreamed about. Snap to reality and well, that’s not who I am. I WANT to be, but between my work schedule, my husband’s work schedule, and having two younger children at home, it’s not happening. What is happening is a very easy way for us to give to our school. It’s called Box Tops for Education.

Box Tops for Education

Right now we have just one child in school, and he attends a private school for special needs children. They are a small school, less than 50 children total! Fundraising is a great source of funding for them, along with donations, grants, and scholarships. When we are given the opportunity to fundraise for our small school, we do everything we can to raise as much as we can. These children deserve the best, they deserve new equipment, new tools, new technology. Just like every student does.

I want you to think about your school and how the Box Tops for Education program could help. Each little Box Top that is collected is worth $0.10. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but if every student and their family started collecting, it would add up quickly.

There are over 80,000 K-8 schools that participate, so your school may already be enrolled! Go look in your pantry right now and see how many items have the special Box Tops for Education cut-out. Don’t forget about your freezer – I always forget that some of our favorite frozen foods have labels on them! They don’t have to be cardboard boxes!

Now take a plastic zipper-close sandwich bag and using a magnet, stick it to your fridge. Some boxes and containers you can clip right away, others you need to wait until the food is gone. Cut the Box Tops out, put in the baggie, take into school once you’ve collected a few.

It’s that easy. You don’t have to go door-to-door, call up relatives, bug your coworkers (unless you want to and they don’t have young children at home who participate, then by all means, get them on board to save them for you!).

The money raised from collecting Box Tops for Education can be used on ANYTHING the school wants or needs. New textbooks? iPads for educational apps (or in our school’s case, as communication devices)? Maybe your school needs new playground equipment, or simple things like more art supplies. Box Top for Education can cover that!

So what are you waiting for? Ask your child’s teacher to visit to learn more and to find information to send home to parents to drum up enthusiasm and get involved!
