Box Top Question

[TrickyBob]

I don't have kids, but I always collect box tops because I know schools use them.

Is there a certain time of year that they have to be sent in by? Or can I just mail them to the local school?

Do they REALLY actually help schools?

Not every school collects them, which I think is crazy. Our school has earned all sorts of fun stuff with box tops!

I know our local school does. I guess I could ask my neighbor, she's a teacher but I haven't seen her in awhile.

I figured any help, helps!

I drop mine off at our local elementary school office a couple of times per year. They always seem very appreciative.

Do kids get something for bringing them in? Like, if one kids brings in a lot for his class, does he get something for bringing them in?

I feel like I should specify that they be counted towards some kid who can't or never has brought any in.

Btw, it's really nice of you to do this. Lots of people don't realize what those things even are.

At my moms school, each highest collecting class per grade gets a pizza party or a day off. I think they get some good stuff with the box tops

My Mom never collected them for us and she thought it was silly when I wanted to try. And as a kid I never understood the importance.

I have about 50 of them collected so far. I figure if it can help make school better, then why not? It's not very hard to tear off the boxtop from the box of whatever.

This is so nice of you all. I had never even considered saving them, since I don't have kids. I think I'll start now.

It becomes second nature, I see one and rip it off and toss it into an envelope that I have in a drawer.

Hey, if anyone is collecting these just for funsies, I'd gladly pay postage to mail them our way
