We always encourage our parents to registar for the year. It seems like there is a sweepstakes or you can get extra box tops, how quickly one forgets . I always thought they sent us those newsletters because our FRC lady is our cooridinator and she doesn't know much about downloading.

One of our teachers was building a HUGE house last year. Matter of fact, it is still not done. Anyhow she earned us something like 1200 box tops by using the marketplace. It really works. Not to make you feel any worse.

Ugh! I am kicking myslef for not knowing this before. Our school always did the box tops labels program, but now upon checking out their site I found 2 other money making programs they have. Our school never participated in these 2 and hence why I knew nothing about them. They even have flyers you can download & print to give out to your parents. Maybe most of you do know this already, but I just figured I would post it for others who may not know about it.

They have a boxtops Visa card that they will give 1% back to your school on all purchases.

They also have a marketplace (this is the one that kills me) they have over 200 online stores (mainly common) that if you access the store to shop online through their marketplace you will also get a % back. These are stores like....Lands End, Target, Ebay, Oriental Trading, JC Penny, Barnes & Nobel, KB Toys, etc...

You can get all the information & the flyers on their site. Boxtops4education.com

It kills me to know how much money I have personally spent shopping online that I could have gotten a kickback for our school for!
