I have a little over 11,000 labels banked already. It has taken our school about 7 years to get that many points because people aren't reading the notes I send home saying how to send in upc's. And yes, I have even included pictures.
ANYWHOOO... I'm curious as to what items everyone has cashed in their points for thus far. Everything seems like a TON of points for very trivial items.

I was the CLFE coordinator for our local head start center for 2 years. The first year we earned enough points to get 3 scooter boards for the kids (which they love!). Last year we earned enough points to get a walkie talkie set for parents and staff to use on field trips, walks, etc., another scooter board, playground ball set, and a set of cup/ball catch.
I hate to see these programs go to waste so often. My daughters elementary doesn't participate in the CLFE program because basically they want the programs like BTFE that give them money. They said that it takes too long to earn the points, but at the head start (19 kids max) we collected over 12000 in 2 years. I also made sure to fill out the Labels for America forms because it is a free 500 points for each point up to 2000 points.
