Box Tops for Education

My friend Laura recently turned me on to the Box Tops for Education program that has generated more than $200 million for schools since 1996.

There are tons of products, from pancake mix to toilet paper, that have box tops on the labels. If everyone cut them out and piled them up and gave them to someone with a kid it would really benefit individual schools. Schools get money through that and the money goes directly to the school- not the district. If people already have the box tops on products you use, why not save them and give them to a local school? I now save all of my box tops and give them to her to help her school. Why don't you do the same with a school near you?

Laura has a bumper sticker that reads: "It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber"... Women's international league for peace and freedom, 1979. Unfortunately that still is the case. Participating in Box Tops for Education is a great way to help your local school or schools and will likely go a long way to ensure that children really aren't left behind.

Do it.
