Let's get Manning Oaks on this list


I am so glad that you stopped by to visit. Look around the website and you will find lots of great information about Box Tops. Click on the link above and you will see the top ten Box Tops earning schools in the state of Georgia. Manning Oaks earned $1367.70 last year and I think we can blow that record out of the water. If you have been watching the Olympics, you probably saw a lot of records getting broken. To break a record requires commitment, determination and passion. It pays to be passionate about Box Tops, just ask any of the schools on that list.

There are lots of ways we can work towards breaking our record. In addition to clipping Box Tops, ask grandparents or neighbors without kids if they will collect Box Tops for you. Box Tops are found on so many products that almost everyone would find Box Tops in their home if they took jsut a few moments to look. Parents, maybe you can ask your boss if you can leave a shoe-box sized container at your workplace that says "Help support Manning Oaks Elementary". Does your neighborhood have a newsletter? Maybe you can advertize that you are collecting Box Tops and would gladly accept any Box Top donations. If you get creative, there are lots of ways you can collect Box Tops. Remember, each Box Top is worth ten cents to our school and that adds up FAST! When you are grocery shopping,look for brands that carry the Box Tops logo. New products are added regularly. For a complete list of participating brands, just click a link over on the right side of this page.

Once again thanks for visiting. Just the fact that you are here suggests that you are passionate about Box Tops. Let's put our passion to work and hopefully next year Manning Oaks will be on that list! Email me if you have any questions about Box Tops!

If your not currently clipping, it's never to late to start. Box Tops can be found on so many products that you use in your home every day. Click on the link to the right to print out more collection sheets or if you would like a complete list of participating Box Tops products.

Box Tops Poem Entry

Box Tops is having a poem contest to find the Coordinator who is the most passionate about Box Tops! Well, I think I am definitely passionate about Box Tops and hopefully this poem will prove it. The Coordinator who submits the winning poem receives 10,000 Box Tops for their school. That's a thousand dollars! The contest results will be out in late September so I will keep you posted.




Box Tops Poem

Collecting Box Tops is so fun
Our school earns money, we make a ton

Just clip the Box Tops from items galore
You'll find Box Tops throughout the store


On cereals, on brownies, on pastas and snacks
They're even on diapers, imagine that!

Each Box Top is worth a dime
Sometimes double or triple which is mightyfine

It's Hip to Clip is what I say
So clip those Box Tops every day

Then send them to school in a baggie so neat
Or attach them to a collection sheet

Soon a check will arrive to buy stuff for school
Like computers and supplies that are really cool


Everyone do your part to contribute this year
We all need to help, it's so perfectly clear

In 1996 General Mills began
this awesome, amazing Box Tops program

We thank you so much for supporting our schools
I'm passionate about Box Tops

BECAUSE BOX TOPS RULE!

Let's group our Publix Box Tops Codes


Hey parents,


If you have been shopping at Publix and picked up some of the Box tops products that contain the peel off code but don't have enough to make the required amount (8 codes for 50 Box Tops, 12 codes for 100 Box tops) or if you have more than twelve and want to donate some email me at thereeseclan@bellsouth.net and we will see if we can group some together. I currently have 10 and need 2 more to make 12 and get the 100 Box Top Bonus. No sense letting these go to waste as it is easy cash for our school. If you are not familiar with the peel of Box Tops that Publix is offering for a limited time, please read my previous post below! Thanks for all you do to support the Box Tops Program.

Wow, Publix supermarkets are making it really easy to earn Bonus Box Tops right now. For a limited time, many of the Box Tops brands found at Publix, have a peel off Box Top code on the front of the package. This bonus Box Top is in addition to the regular Box Top coupon on the Box. On the back of the peel off coupon you will find a code that you will input at http://www.publixboxtops.com/.

Purchase 8 and get 50 additional Box Tops and withe the purchase of 12 of these specially marked Box Tops products, our school will receive 100 BONUS BOX TOPS! I shopped at Publix earlier this week and found the special peel off sticker on Fruit Roll Ups, Fruit by the Foot and many of the General Mills Cereals. I really think this is a fabulous way for us to earn cash for our school. If every family at Manning Oaks purchased twelve of these specially marked Box Tops products, our school would earn over $8000!
