I love saving box tops! One way I contribute to our daughter’s education is by giving a lot of special treats to her teacher to let her know how much we really do appreciate her work as a teacher! A teacher who feels appreciated means a lot me!

I volunteer at my daughter’s elementary by teaching a math class once a week for children who are really good at math and need a bit more of a challenge. It’s great fun and allows me to pass along my love of math to a varied group of kids!

I contribute by donating items to my daughters classroom and saving my boxtops for the school. I also get workbooks for her that we work on together.

I love to help at my kids’ schools. I serve on the PTA board of directors, I work one day a week in my son’s classroom, and I often volunteer for extra school activities. We also save boxtops, Campbells soup labels and recycle plastic bags and phone books. Our school is a low income school, so we find several ways to try to help out. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I am teaching my 17 month old how to recognize letters.
My kiddo is no in school yet but, I do BOXTOPS and send them to my niece and nephew to help out with their schools.
I love to cut boxtops! I have all of our family members cutting them off too. They add alot faster that way. My kids are in older grades now so I volunteer by making copies for the teachers.

I'm saving boxtops & soup labels and my kids aren't even in school yet!

I learn right along with them. Then, I (try to) initiate conversations about the subjects being covered in their classes.
thanks,

I don’t have any children in school yet, but my nephew started Kindergarten last year. The past two years, we have gone to their silent auction/chili supper to raise money for his school. It is always a lot of fun!
This is a great giveaway! Its great to see more people helping out through the box tops/label programs. My sons daycare just started collecting and its great to see the people who contribute who don’t even have kids! THANKS!jreneemunford@yahoo.com
I keep close tabs on his homework and check it everyday and we also go over it to make sure he understands.
I haven’t done boxtops before (we’re still in preschool), but we do UPromise.
My loves collecting the Box Tops and taking them to his school.
This is a great giveaway my son loves to read books.

I think contributing to my child’s education is more than just a financial thing. I like to feel I’m contributing by reading to her and sharing with her my opinions and such.

I totally just started my own blog about great steals. At least, my friends and family will check it out.

Thanks! I have been cutting boxtops ever since I’ve heard of them! I volunteer at school every Thursday (almost) listening to the first and second graders read – it’s such a joy to see the improvement over the year!
I homeschool and our hs support group gets the same benefits as a school so I give them all my box tops.
My boys always yell…”Don’t throw that away! There’s a boxtop!”

I have a pencil case that I store all of our box tops in–when it’s full I cash out, so to speak.

I like to donate exta disaster kits (required by the schools), or other supplies that not everyone can afford. My mom collects the box tops for us, too!
My husband and I are both teachers (well I was before I decided to dedicate my life to MY kids) and know that the best way to support our children’s education is to always stay informed. That means always knowing what is going on. Always.

My daughter is 8 yrs old now & we've been collecting these boxtops since she started grade school. I think it's a great program & really helps the schools.
We have 2 in school and one that starts next year, we collect box tops as well as attend the schools “Chili’s night, Chic fil A night, Wendy’s night and Mcdonalds night” on these nights the teachers actually work behind the counters at the restaurants and a part of the profit from the night goes to the schools.

I signed up for UPromise.
Though my kids are now out of school, I still bring my boxtops to the local school. When my kids were in school, I volunteered in the classroom, PTA, and field trips.Thanks for this great giveaway!
I collect boxtops and like to volunteer. As a former art teacher, I love seeing her and her peers in their educational development.

My daughter is not in scholl yet but usednto teach so I save all of the boxtops and cambell’s soup labels for that school. Thanks for a great giveaway that helps schools.
My school district has actually had to cut some its fundings – fewer field trips and no “extras” in the classroom. It’s so sad! That’s why we do everything we can to help. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Can’t wait until my son is in school and I can help him with his homework! Not that I want him to have a ton when he’s in first grade, but when he’s older. I just hope I can keep up!
Also, my husband and I will be involved in whatever school he goes to, hopefully.
We’re also saving money for him for college. It will probably be $100K a year by the time he goes.
Well, I have homeschooled both of my children for years, so I guess you could call that “contributing to their education.” We have done what we can to get them involved in volunteer activities in the community, going on field trips or taking advantage of other educational opportunities, and have supported them in their areas of interest.

I love to use the following website for helping my child with reading http://www.bookadventure.com/ki/index.asp
Justin pick a book on the website and get it from your local library (you can check on line to see which library has it). Then after your child reads it they take a short quiz on the website and earn points for correct answers. Then they can trade the points in for prizes. Make reading really fun for my 5th grader.
I don’t have any children in school currently, but one thing I plan on doing to help my kids is reading to them and with them at home.
My son goes to a school where he attends 2 days a week and I homeschool him the other 3 days. So I am very involved in his schooling! so fun!

For years I collected box tops but my daughters school didnt take them so I donated them to my nieces school. Now that her new school takes them I’ve been donating box tops as well as coke rewards points, and Pure life water labels as well. I’m also apart of the pta and a regular parent volunteer at her school. Any way I can be involved to make sure my daughter is getting the education she deserves is a big plus in my book! jenna05dragonfly@yahoo.com
I consider my couponing and other frugal decisions the best way I can contribute to my child’s education. The money we’re saving now is going into an education fund that we’ll use for college and perhaps private school when the time comes. (My son is just 2 now, so he’s not yet in school!)

Since my daughter started school seven years ago we have used BOXTOPS to contribute to each school she has attended. It has helped them with getting items that they would not be normally be able to. IT IS A WONDERFUL IDEA AND PROGRAM! It is a good as a gravy train with biscuit wheels!!

I am starting to learn Spanish with my son. Our school district doesn’t teach a second language until high school and I want him to have the chance to learn earlier. Plus, I took German in high school so I thought we’d learn together.
I give my cereal box tops to my younger brother and sister since my son is to small.
mccataquet@comcast.net
I am on the PTA and go to all the fundraisers to help and support. Also, I am head room mom for my daughter’s kindergarden which I go in to help when needed. Thanks
We collect as many boxtops as we can. My daughter’s school throws a monthly party to the class that collects the most.
I have my kids grandparents and other relatives collect BOXTOPS for us as well. Anyone I know that doesn’t have kids of their own, I ask them to send us their BOXTOPS!

We love to clip box tops at our house! My daughter takes pride in turning them, our school does a good job of encouraging and rewarding kids who particpate. We also sign up all our grocery store cards and try to help out however and whenever we can!
We love to buy products that contain the boxtops.We give them to my nephew for his school.This is the first year that I am homeschooling my daughter and she loves for us to play educational games on our computer.
I homeshool, so I contribute to all my childrens education. I teach them, choose their books, help them with homework…and that is just the school aspect of their education. Thanks for the giveaway.
I go to my son’s classroom each Thursday to help out the teacher, it’s so much fun!

I don’t have any kids yet but love to clip those BoxTops and save them!
We have a upromise account that we use to save money for our kids for college. We also give boxtops to the school that our children will attend in the next couple of years.

Thanks for the giveaway!! My baby is just 4m. I was a teacher before becoming a SAHM. I read to him every day. We also sing and do baby signing. I cut out box tops and send them to a local school and have my Target card rewards sent to a school that I taught at.
