Question about school contests.

[Deja Vu]

I signed up for school BTFE coordinator, but didn't get picked. So I want to "sell" the idea to our coordinator. I am curious about what the schools offer as an incentive for the children to cut and collect so I may give her some ideas.

Hi
Our school does a monthly competition between all classes/grades. At the end of each month they total up all the boxtops turned in by each class and the winner gets a special treat provided by the PTO. The boxtops count as ''points'' and they total the points. Neatly trimmed boxtops are worth 2 points each and ones that aren't trimmed neatly or just the whole box flap turned in (yes, that happens, I've seen it!) only count as one point. They will get something like popsicles(sp?) and juices boxes, etc. as a reward. On the month they have the school carnival, usually in the spring, instead of a treat for the class they can redeem their boxtops for carnival tickets for games and goodies at the carnival!
