Do you remember collecting Box Tops as a kid? I do. I actually remember fighting with my sister over who got to bring them into class. Luckily, we went to the same school, so it didn’t really make a difference. Do your kids collect Box Tops for their school? Well, it just got a little easier! Box Tops have gone digital!
My oldest daughter, Piper, is about to enter 1st grade. Summer flew by! Last year she loved collecting Box Tops off of some of her favorite grocery items. She always got really excited to bring them to school. Her school made it fun by giving the kids a ticket to enter their names in a raffle when they participated. Piper even won the drawing a couple of times and brought home some fun trinkets that made her smile, all while the school was really the one who was winning because each Box Top collected is a contribution to the school. Box Tops made her feel excited to be a part of donating to her school’s playground fund.
10¢ per Box Top might seem like a small amount, but it really adds up. Schools use money from Box Tops for all kinds of things from new playground equipment to paper and pencils for the classroom. Now that Box Tops have gone digital, you don’t need to worry about clipping them off boxes or losing them before they make it to the school. All you need to do is scan your receipt in the Box Tops App, and it’ll find all the participating brands you purchased instantly donating funds to the school of your choice. Friends and family members can even contribute to your child’s school using the app too, they make is so easy.
Currently at Costco, on every purchase of a participating Box Tops item, your school gets 10 Box Tops. Plus, 5000 Members will win an extra 100 Box Tops when scanning their receipt with participating General Mills products in the Box Top App.
What will your Box Top Inspire?
For us, Box Tops gave our school a playground fund. Playgrounds inspire fun, activity, and friendships in kids, especially my daughters. My oldest daughter met one of her best friends on the playground on the first day of school. The playground is such a happy place that can contribute to special life moments. Can you think of something that your child’s school would benefit from? What will your Box Tops Inspire?
