Most of the grocery stores around here donate money to the school of your choice (through the discount card). I make only shop at the stores that do this.
My daughter is still young yet – but we do have a savings set up for her to be used for college. And I do save boxtops of course! And I plan to be very active at her school.
I always tell my daughter she has 4 parents her mom and dad and her step mom and dad so she better earn a great living so she said she really wants to be a specialist so better start saving for college now!!!
I have been collecting Box Tops for my daughters school for 5 years now. It sure does add up. We also try to remember to put all of our paper in their recycle bins that helps the school as well.
I collect Box Tops all year round and my family eats a lot of cereal to get those Box Tops.
My kids aren’t in school yet but I am signed up with Upromise and we contribute to their 529′s.
Our girls aren’t in school yet, but I’ve been saving/donating Box Tops to our local school. Any difference we can make in our community now is going to make even better for our kids when they do start school!

My daughter is four and every day we play some sort of letter or number game while we’re in the car, in the store, or even lying in bed. She loves to play these word games, like thinking of all the words we can that start with a certain letter, and they’ve helped her start reading!

We read to my 19 month old all the time, thanks!
I don’t have kids yet, but I want to raise kids with the best education, once they are born. So I have been diligently clipping my boxtops, so that someday it will come full circle when my kids are in school. I also use upromise to pay off my loans, and i want to use it to save for my kids college too!
What a great giveaway! I volunteer on the PTO board at my child’s school. And, I constantly toot the horn of BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION and what it can mean for the school. I make up flyers to be sent home to encourage other parents to send them in and even drafted my mother and grandmother to save their BOXTOPS for my little one to take into school! BOXTOPS are great!
We love collecting the boxtops for our school. It is a great way to give back to the school and the kids are able to get involved and help out too.
Well I will have my first child in Jan. but I’ve been saving box tops and giving to my sister for my nephew’s school for years and before that I gave them to a friends child to donate. I would hate to waste those box tops when they can be put to good use.

My daughter is only 10 months, but I already opened a upromise account and a savings account that gets a direct deposit each month.
GREAT giveaway! I cut all boxtops on products at my home, I volunteer at both of my kids’ schools ALL the time. I am at one or the other school every day of the week! I also help out with the Box Top Challenge weeks and I am the volunteer in charge of the Kemps and Land O Lakes milk tops. I also sit on our PTOs
I like to make sure she’s having lessons she learns at school reinforced at home. I also cut box tops and Campbell’s labels.
For my son’s education, my family and I contribute to his 529 plan often.

I am contributing to my children’s education beause I homeschool. =) I love it and I’m so thankful that we can!
We save all our boxtops for our nephews….No kids in school yet for us but they ask us to save the boxtops for them!
My youngest child goes to an honest to goodness one room schoolhouse. All of the parents are heavily involved in volunteering there. We don’t have a bus so we take turns driving for field trips and plan all the parties. I am the box top coordinator and used to be the scholastic book coordinator too. I also volunteer at my daughter’s school.

I collect Box Tops and volunteer for everything I can!
I put all of the money I save with coupons into their college fund!
I keep our house filled with books–and read to my youngest as often as possible. My oldest daughter finally caught the reading bug from me and reads almost more than I do!
I was a preschool teacher for many years, so my contribution is in their early years. I have set up my house as I would a classroom for young children. I will provide situations where they can explore all the world around them. Teaching them to ask questions and explore.
There are many ways we can contribute to our child’s education (I believe it should start at home), but one thing that I’ve been trying to do since my daughter started 1st grade and has homework is to find other things for her to do that go along with what they are talking about in school. We read together a lot, I ask her lots of questions, and make sure I communicate with her teacher to stay in the know. Monetarliy speaking, we have a GET account, and try to contribute to it when we can, or ask relatives to on birthdays or other occasions where they would be giving a gift.
Since my son is not yet in school, the best way I can contribute to his education is by spending quality time with him, practicing for school – working with the alphabet, his numbers, and other aspects of his education. I do contribute boxtops to the local school, where he will attend kindergarten in a few years!
I blogged on myspace here : http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog&pop=1&ping=1&indicate=1
I always save my box tops for school and now that my oldest in kindergarten I have a school to donate to!

I don’t have any kids in school yet but I’m a faithful clipper of the BoxTops and I give them to friends with kids in schools. Anything to help education. Oh, and I’m a teacher. :)

I have two girls in elementary school. My husband and I both have volunteered in various ways through the years for the school. He as PTA Treasurer and I as Room Parent or gift wrap fund raiser chairperson and helping with the reading/math groups. I submit boxtops 2 times a year.

I give box tops to my niece’s school because our baby is only 8 months old.
My daughter is only 9 months old but we do her alphabet and numbers with her every day as well as nursery rhymes and songs to help her learn.
I try to always turn in boxtops for my school.
