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.

Think outside the box for Box Tops!

It's hard not to get excited when you realize how easy it is to earn cash for our school with the Box Tops program. Box Tops are now on hundreds of commonly used products. Go on a hunt in your pantry and you will be amazed at the number of products that carry the Box Tops logo. You can print out a list of all the participating products in the "Useful links that you can use" section of this page or by going to the Box Tops website at http://www.boxtops4education.com/AboutBoxTops/Products.aspxWe We are only scratching the surface with respect to how much our school could benefit from the Box Tops program.

In addition to clipping Box Tops at home, don't be shy about asking grandparents, aunts and uncles or even co-workers if they will collect Box Tops for you. Maybe your boss would allow you to decorate a shoe box with the Box Tops logo and a caption that reads "Your Box Tops can help support Manning Oaks Elementary". If you ask, you'll find that there are lots of people that would love to donate their Box Tops to help support MOE. Get creative and see how many people you can get to save their Box Tops for you!

Earn cash for our school every time you shop online!

Do you ever shop online at Merchant's like Oriental Trading, Kaybee Toys, Target or the Gap? You could be earning cash for Manning Oaks whenever you shop at dozens of retailers like these and many more! When you visit the Box Tops Marketplace you can select from numerous retailers and click on the link to go directly to that retailers site. When you link to these retailers from the Box Top marketplace, they will donate anywhere from 1.5% up to 8% off your purchase directly to Manning Oaks at no additional cost to you! What an effortless and wonderful way to earn earn cash for our school and Boost our Box Tops earnings! Research suggests that the average family will spend $500 to $600 on Holiday Shopping and about 30% of that amount will be spent online. The next time you need to do some shopping, why not avoid the crowded malls, save money on gas and shop from your favorite retailers from the comfort of your home while supporting your child's education at the same time! I believe that if parents and teachers would take advantage of the rewards offered through the Box Tops Marketplace, we would see our Box Tops earnings soar this year!

Let"s Make it a Great Year for Box Tops at Manning Oaks!

Did you know that since the program began 11 years ago, schools in the United States have earned over $200 million from the Box Tops Program?

Last year, the top Box Tops earning school in the U.S was Red Bird Mission School in Beverly, Kentucky with earnings of $27,574. The top Box Tops earning school in Georgia was Peebles Elementary in Fayetteville with earnings of $5,550. It takes involvement from students, parents and teachers alike to achieve earnings like that but I believe we can make MOE a top earning school as well.

Each Box top that is clipped earns ten cents for our school. That adds up fast! Clipping Box Tops benefits students and faculty alike! You can submit your Box Tops using a sandwich baggie or envelope or try some of the handy collection sheets. You can find lots of great collection sheets at the Box Tops website by going to the following web address www.boxtops4education.com/activitycenter. Don't forget to put your childs name, grade and teacher on the baggie, envelope or collection sheet.

We have some exciting contests planned for this year so check this site regularly for news of upcoming contests, contest results and other Box Tops news. You can also click on the links below to learn about Box Tops promotions from Publix, General Mills and more.

Whether your child is in kindergarten or 5th grade, every Box Top counts. I think that if we put our minds to it, we can make Manning Oaks a top ten Box Top earning school in the state of Georgia! Won't you join me in making this our Best Box Tops year ever!

Guidelines for submitting Box Tops!

I am often asked questions about submitting Box Tops so I thought I would post a few general guidelines:

*Box tops don't have to be trimmed exactly but keep in mind that for cost saving purposes we want to make our package as light as possible to avoid high shipping costs. So, don't fret about being exact but try not to send in the whole top of the cereal box :)

*Box Tops can be sent in any sort of envelope or clear plastic baggie. We don't mind what you send them in really, as long as you mark your childs name and the name of the teacher so they can get credit for contests and prizes!

*There are now collection sheets that you can utilize as well. When it comes time to send Box Tops to General Mills, these collection sheets save us lots of time because they don't require as much counting. Post a collection sheet on your refrigerator and every time you clip a Box Top, use a childs glue stick to attach the Box Top to the collection sheet. In no time, the sheet will be full!

*If you would like additional collection sheets or you have any questions about the Box Tops program, don't hesitate to contact me at thereeseclan@bellsouth.net.
