Love the giveaway! I send in boxtops, both mine and those my parents use at their home. In addition, I volunteer at my son’s preschool. This year I am coordinating the school’s art show at the end of the year.

I love this giveaway! We spend a lot of money on books! Boxtops and soup labels are the easiest and most affordable way my family can contribute to the schools. I can’t always buy the fundraiser of the month, but so many of the products we use everyday have a Boxtops logo to cut and send in. It is great! amyjesseemma@yahoo.com
We clip Box Tops and I sign up all my store “loyalty” cards and use Upromise to donate to my child’s school. Thanks!

We collect Boxtops for our school. Our local grocery store also gives money back to the school when you leave your receipt in your school’s box at the store.

We volunteer and collect Box Tops. Thanks!
I love to help out at my sons schools. I feel like I have been collecting BoxTops FOREVER!! lol. I love helping out in any way…

We like to clip box tops and other proof of purchase labels that our school collects. What a great way to help them out!
Just start useing the box topps site to help my kids school. Have been saving the topps for years Thanks katemgilmore@hotmail.com
Our school collects Boxtops too- and we certainly contribute! I am a stay at home mom, so I volunteer in my childrens classrooms on a regular basis- reading groups, writer’s workshop, and recess duty!

I diligently send in my boxtops, soup labels and anything else that will help our school!
Thanks for the giveaway. My two sons are not old enough to be in school yet but we do flashcards and work on letters with starfall.com almost every day!
Ever since my kids were little we have bought the latest educational toys (Leap products – puzzles etc). Now that they are in school we buy the books from the PTA and collect box tops and soup labels. We even recruit them from family members…

Box Tops is a great way to give back to your school. My daughter has a box in her school we save up and she drops them in.
How i contribute to my kids education? When i become a mom, i plan to homeschool so i can be full in charge. My husband always throws boxes away so quick, but i’ll try to keep an eye on them and give them to my friend who is a teacher.
I spend time reading to my kids everyday. We also invest in educational toys and go to the public library. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thats for the giveaway. My daughter isn’t in school yet. She is only 16 months but she can read already so we are on a good start for school. I give my box tops to a friend who then turns them into her kids schools.

My daughter isn’t in school yet but we always give our boxtops anyway. I can’t wait to volunteer at her school in a few years. We try to utilize learning toys to prepare her for school.

I don’t have any children, but I am an elementary school counselor so I love to contribute to education. Our school is a very high need school and we provide “Christmas” for over 85 families each year with the help of our community. I like to contribute to this cause as much as I can. It is such a joy to see the smiles on the parents faces when they know that they will be able to give Christmas to their children. Thanks for doing this giveaway. I love all of the comments!
I taught for many years before becoming a SAHM and I remember how much I appreciated any contribution parents could make. I still have a little one at home with me so I can’t go in to the school to volunteer. But I try to do whatever I can from home. If there are items needed for a craft, class project, party, I am more than happy to donate it. If the teacher needs any lessons or learning games prepped or assembled I volunteer to help. And sometimes, after a string of bad weather days, when I know the “natives are restless” I will send in a little extra treat for the teachers; extra quarters for the vending machine, a chocolate bar, maybe some tea bags or hot cocoa mix she can use during her break or after school lets out …..

My first is still in diapers, but I love spending time reading to her, teaching her the colors, numbers….
I help my son’s education by reading to him every single day. Of course, I’m a teacher so that helps too ;)
I buy books in new or almost-new condition from the local used bookstore, then gift them to the school library. The librarian gives me a list of specific titles to look for, but usually is happy even if I throw in some surprises. What she can’t use they sell at the school’s annual book sale to raise money for the school. It’s nice to be able to support both a small local business and a small local elementary with a single purchase!
I save the box tops for my daughter’s school to I make sure to order her books through the Scholastic book club to help her with her reading education. Thank you for the entry,
I didn’t know that this exsisted! How cool. We always do boxtops, and also order scholastic books (the school gets free books when kids order.)
I read with my kids all the time, too. That really helps them with a lot of skills they need in school.
Thanks for the giveaway! Boxtops are great.

Oh my, beyond reading, reading, reading, there’s helping with homework, being available (and accessible and supportive) to his teachers, encouraging him in his studies, PTA and school activities, and praying for him. We LOVE books and would put this gc to good use!

I love fieldtrips! What better way to stay involved and enjoy a fun day with your child and his/her friends than to accompany on a field trip!
All year long we collect box tops and at the beginning of the school year my sons school has a contest to see which class can bring in the most box tops. Since kindergarten we have come in second, next year I am looking for first.
My husband is a teacher and we cut box tops from everything from diapers to tortillas to well, everything. the grandparents cut them and send them to us as well. Anything to help his school out.
this is a great giveaway!

I am a former teacher turned stay-at-home-mom. I worked in a private school, and we did all possible to support our kids.

I have a little one going into Kindergarten in the near future, so the best investment I can make in his future is teaching him and exposing him to as much learning/reading as possible…I love BOOKS to do that, so I love the idea of this giveaway! Thanks!
I contribute Boxtops for Education to my granddaughter’s school. When my children were younger, I volunteered in the classroom.

I love to read with my kids and others. We try to provide the best educational opportunities we can and encourage our children to seek knowledge in their areas of interest.
I don’t have any children yet but I do help my nieces school out as much as I can… with fund raisers and box tops and Campbell labels and so on and so on…
Thanks,

Collecting box tops and soup labels is so easy and a great way to help out the schools. Flash cards and alphabet puzzles are fun and educational. Kim.dynes@iggesundtools.com
My son is only one, so we donate our box tops to the school my sister-in-law teaches at. I’m glad that we can support the good work that they are doing.
My DD is only 14 months so I am not giving them to her school yet. However, I do save them and give them to people how need them when I trade coupons. They are so imprtant! When I was in school we were able to get a whole playground from them!

I contribute to my son’s education by educating him at home! We homeschool, but we do save Boxtops for our local school because we know a lot of the kids that go there thanks to our involvement in sports in our community.
We don’t have children yet, but I have worked in the education field. The best way to support their education is to keep their school and teachers in mind with projects and volunteer as much as possible to help.

My little one is not in school yet, but I use upromise and try to find deals that will contribute to that. I’m also trying to shop through their website for my holiday shopping so I can get the addition % in my account. Thanks for the giveaway!
How I contribute to my child’s education… I became a teacher. Not only do I know the ins and outs of what goes on at school, I am able to give him that extra help.
I also hold an afterschool intervention class in my classroom. This is where teachers can send their students who are having trouble in certain areas, and I give them that extra help they need…. and no, I don’t get paid for it! :)
thank you for the opportunity! I collect box tops in large amounts, buy from all the school fund raisers and try to sell as well and also like to send the school with extra supplies at the beginning of the school year. Thank you, Jenni

Thanks!
I have a kindergartner and two little ones at home – so I can’t get to the school and volunteer like I would like to, so my son’s teacher sends home math worksheets for me to sort and then I send them back with him.

My little guys’ just a toddler but we contribute to his education by spending lots of time reading!!

I homeschool, so I AM my child’s education! But I save box tops and campbells labels for a friend’s child to bring to school.
Hey, thanks!
Thank you! We cut the box tops for my daughters’ future elementary school.
My boys aren’t in school yet but I clip box tops and either give them to a child I know or I drop them in the box at the grocery store. I think it is a great program!
We read, read, read!
