For years I have been collecting box tops for my kids schools and I guess it all started with collecting them for my school when I was a kid as well. Out of habit before anything goes in the trash we make sure we didn’t miss a box top and watch out if Daddy accidentally throws one away (Nathan was not happy about that!) This past year our elementary school collected and earned over $3,000 for Box Tops for Education. . how amazing is that?!
I’ve never understood why anyone would ever not collect Box Tops – even if you don’t have children, you know someone that does right?! Taking the few seconds to cut it out and place it somewhere safe (I have a sandwich bag on my frig where we stuff ours!) could help your local schools accomplish more than you realize.
This year we decided to give the kids more of an incentive to collect – to bother their grandparents, and aunts and uncles and neighbors – anyone, that could help them reach their goal. Every month we had a contest – whichever classroom that collected the most Box Tops won a cookie party, or a pizza party – and at the end of the year when we were trying to reach our goal they were offered all kinds of prizes from local businesses, like time at the batting cages, free admission to the skate park, free putt-putt, etc. It really lit a fire under some of the kids and we managed to make our goal by the end of the year!
