BOX TOPS ARE FUN!


Written by: Taryn Kanai   Box Tops for Education
Dear teachers, parents, and students,

This whole year, our school will be collecting Box Tops. If you were wondering what Box Tops are, they help our school get money for more P.E. equipment, more books, and maybe more electronics.


Before you turn it in to your teacher, make sure the Box Tops are cut out neatly and check to see if they are expired or not. This year we will be having 2 contests. The first contest will run from July 30, 2012 until December 14, 2012. The second contest will run from January 1, 2013 until May 17, 2013. Last year with the Box Tops, we got school supplies and other things teachers needed to teach their students. Last year we earned about $1,400 from all the Box Tops we collected. You can find the Box Tops on kleenex boxes, tissue boxes, binders, cereal boxes, ziplock bag boxes, cookie boxes, Nestle juice packs, fruit roll-up product boxes, Fiber-One chewy bars, fruited flavored snacks, and Hefty trash bag boxes.

An easy way to collect Box Tops are when you see one, you can cut it out then keep all of your Box Tops in a ziplock bag.  Leave the ziploc bag somewhere you will easily see and remember. For example, my grandma collects it by making little envolopes out of regular envolopes and separates the Box Tops by their expiration dates. Each time she finds one, she automaticlly cuts them out and puts the Box Tops in the correct envolope. Now go start cutting out those Box Tops, bring them to school, and help us win money!

  1. I like how you told us when the compatitions are. I also like how you told us were we can find box tops. I also liked how you told us how your gramma collects them. How will we know if they are expired? How much is a box top worth?
