My little one isn’t in school just yet, but we contribute to her budding love of reading by taking time each day to enjoy books. We also make regular visits to the library, so that she is exposed to many different types of literature.
My kids aren’t in school yet but I try to support the local schools by participating in their fund raisers, donating items for classroom use, and sending my boxtops with the neighborhood kids.
I clip all the box tops I get and when I go to a friend’s house who doesn’t have children, I ask them for their box tops too!
We also collect the Campbell’s soup label sand Goldfish bag UPCs to earn money for our kids’ school.
Well, I homeschool, so I figure that has to count towards their education! LOL!
I homeschool my two oldest, and the biggest way I contribute to their education is reading! I read to them, they read to me, and they read to each other. We have learned so much!

I have all grandparents on the box top look out. I have given them each a list of all the products to put on their fridge and they mail all the ones they’ve collected at the beginning of the school year.

We do a lot of reading and, since my little one is 1 1/2, we “talk” about everything.
Thanks for the great giveaway! Although I do not have children yet, I like to participate in Boxtops by giving them to my local elementary school.
Thanks again!

We cut corners on vacationing to save money….. I also get as many books for my baby as I can!

I don’t have children yet, but I do save my Boxtops for a co-workers children.
I contribute to my kids’ education by being their teacher: I am a HOMESCHOOLING momma! We love it, it works for us.
Our daughter isn’t in school yet, but we’ve been saving boxtops for my nieces and nephews schools for years! Great program! Thanks for the giveaway.

Our boxtops go to a school in a low income area to help them out.
We are investing & saving as wisely as we can each chunk of gift money given by family. It slowly adds up!
My daughter will be entering kindergarten in 2009 and is now going to Pre-K at our local elementary school. Today’s children are the leaders of tomorrow and every opportunity to help our schools is a good thing. I clip every BOXTOP I can find and have friends and family do the same-anything that improves the school with additional equipment is a plus!
This is a great giveaway! I don’t currently have any kids, but I do cut out the box tops and give them to my young cousin for her school. Also I’ve signed up all my loyalty cards at Upromise to start saving for either my cousin’s education or my yet-to-be children.

I collect Box Tops and I am the Campbell’s soup label coordinator for my kids’ school.
Wow. One way I contribute to my children’s education is that I TEACH them..LOL.
We have homeschooled for over 10 years not and it’s been amazing.
We collect the Box Tops for our local schools though and drop them off when we gather up enough.
Recently my childs literacy library program was cut…so a group of parents (including myself) have been woking at the school library and meeting with the kids needing extra reading help. I am also a big fan of collecting the box tops anything to get our Michigan schools back in budget! My son and I collected the largest amount of tops over the summer and he won a ribbon and some school gear this year!
Here’s my second entry… I just blogged about your giveaway at my site.

my son went to a very special school for handicapped
children so even now (he is 26 years old) we still donate boxtops to them, so they can make the school a very special place for all the other kids that need them

I have 2 daughters in elementary school. I clip boxtops every chance I get. Our school was able to get some very nice things from the boxtops.

Thanks for the giveaway!! I collect box tops and have gotten my family (the one’s with no kids at least) to collect them for the school as well. I also buy supplies for my daughter’s classroom throughout the year. They are always running out of necessary items and don’t have the budget to buy more.

I find it important to sit down & go over homework with my son, even though he does most of it with the daycare lady. Plus I secretly love giving him spelling tests!! =)

My oldest just started kindergarten this year. It’s been fun going through our pantry together and clipping off the box tops. She feels like such a big girl taking them to school.
I contributed to my children’s education by reading to them and being involved at their schools.
Great giveaway.
I collect the box tops as well. Some of my friends dont have kids and they give me theirs to give to my school!
Thanks

My oldest started kindergarten this year. It’s been fun going through our pantry an clipping off the Box Tops together. She feels like such a big girl when she turns them in at school.
My son and I walk to and from school every day and we talk about his day. I work at night so I am not there for dinner time or bed time. This is our bonding time. I am involved with as much as I can be at my sons school. Fundraisers, parents club and room mom you name it, I’m there. I want my son to remember that I was involved in his schooling not just dropping off and picking him up.
I’m all signed with upromise!
I’m always trying to participate in whatever fundraisers schools in my area are having….gift wrap, candy sales, etc. It helps to give back!
My 14 month old and I read stories every day. I also save box tops to give to my cousins who are already in school.
I volunteer at both kids’ schools all the time. I love how they have Box Tops containers at all the schools where you can drop them off. So many products I buy anyway have Box Tops on them…it just makes sense to cut them off and save them! Last year, my son’s class won a pizza party because they brought in the most Box Tops! Everybody wins!
i don’t have children yet, but I’m going to be a teacher. boxtops are great for school and i’ve signed up for the school i intern at.

I have never used the Box Tops for education because I don’t have school age kids yet, but now that I know how easy it is, I definitely will contribute more to this program!
I am a SAHM now and a former teacher. We should all try to help our schools. I throw my box tops in a basket on top of the fridge…until my 2nd grader says…I want to take in the Box Tops! Then I send them in…easy!

Our children are all grown with their own families but we have a college fund for each grandchild.

We are doing Calvert’s preschool curriculum with our 3-year-old…plus Upromise, and a little savings account.
I have two daughters in school, and they both take box tops with them every month.
We contribute to our kids’ education by buying a lot of scholastic books for them and participating in school fundraisers.

I don’t have a child in school yet, but I collect boxtops for my mom. She’s been a teacher for 22 years now! Anything I can do to help the school, especially my alma mater, is well worth it!

One way I like to contribute to my childrens’ education is to keep a strong connection with their teachers. Teachers truly are every parent’s partner in both their academic and life education.
happyhoustonmommy@yahoo.com
I try to help out our school any way I can. We do the box tops and send them in. I volunteer my time in the classroom. I registered my grocery club cards so our school will get the credit! We also buy Scholastic books because teachers are able to buy for their classrooms based on how much kids buy! Great giveaway! Thanks for offering it!

We contribute by being involved with PTO and School Improvement Council. We also save box tops and Campbell’s soup labels, participate in school fundraisers and book fairs. With four school kids, you HAVE to stay involved and contribute. What a treat!

We always collect boxtops and give them to our child’s school. We also support the fundraisers the school has during the year. nachuck2003@yahoo.com
