Box Tops for Education

Ms. Wettin
Have you noticed that many of your household products have a "Box Tops for Education" cutout? Do you take the time to cut these out and send them to a school? If the answer is no, please reconsider.

Box Tops for Education began in 1996. Since that time, schools across America have received over $175 million through the program. Each of the 95,000 participating schools is eligible to earn as much as $60,000 per school year.

For every Box Top for Education that gets turned into schools, the school receives ten cents. Bonus Box Tops for Education can sometimes be found on products and are worth thirty cents to the school if they are redeemed.

Clip every Box Top for Education that is on the products you purchase. Give the Box Tops to the school that your child or grandchild attends. If the school does not participate in the program, consider signing up as a coordinator so that the school can utilize this great opportunity to earn money. If you do not know anyone in a participating school, please, still take the time to clip the Box Tops and take them to a local school.

The dimes add up quickly and are a great way for schools to receive extra funding. America's schools are helping to mold America's future so every extra penny helps.

Box Tops for Education can be found on many food products. Some of the brands that carry Box Tops include General Mills, Yoplait, Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Totino's, Hamburger Helper, and several others.

Box Tops for Education can also be found on other household products. Box Tops can be found on Ziploc, Cottonelle, Kleenex, Scott, and Hefty products.

Box Tops for Education also has two additional ways to earn money for the school of your choice. You can earn cash for your school by utilizing the Box Top Marketplace for your online shopping needs. By clicking through the Box Tops website to any of the participating stores, a percentage of your purchase price will go to the school of your choice. The final way to earn money for your school through Box Tops for Education is to apply online for a Box Tops for Education Visa card. The card works wherever Visa is accepted and one percent of all of your purchases will go to the school of your choosing.

Begin clipping Box Tops for Education today and help our children to a brighter tomorrow.

    BTFE is a great program. My kindergartener loves clipping, counting, and turning in her "school money". I love the fact that it keeps a few more dollars in my pocket that the school would normally have to ask for. With Store and website promotions the dime add up even quicker. Check www.boxtops4education/club for a 14 box top bonus for registering at their website. then participate in their monthly giveaways of 200 - 10,000 bonus box tops. Let's face it our schools need all the free help they can get. Even if you don't have school aged children, clip, save, and send to your neighborhood k-8th grade school. It's an easy way to make a difference in your community.

    My daughter loves this program! She is very goal oriented, and last year each grading period the class with the most box tops turned in would win a pizza party. She made sure her class won every time, and her teacher gave her an award for collecting so many. Everytime we go to the store she is constantly checking items looking for the box tops!

    I do this for my kids. Its one of the easiest and cheapest school fundraisers. When I used to work on the PTO I hated sorting them but it really does add up and its easier then Tyson and Campbells. Do I see an article on these two in your future???

    Thanks for this information. I don't pay attention to Box Tops for Education mainly because my children aren't school age yet. I will reconsider and perhaps be able to find a school in my area who could use them.
