Woo Hoo, on our way...

So I recently became the coordinator for my dd's school. One of the Kindy teachers sent my dd home with a big bag of box tops that she got from who knows where. Over 1000 of them! We haven't even gotten our first notice out to the parents yet and we're on our way!

That is fantastic!!

Awesome. I just took over too. I submitted $1,500 worth of them last week!!!

So, all last year they took in $556. So far this year, we've got a check for $517. I'm not doing kid to kid contests, but I'm considering a classroom contest or two down the road. I'm trying to talk the teachers into a Kiss the Critter deal where the one that gets the most box tops in their jar has to kiss a pig or lizard or something, wear a clown hat, something goofy. We'll see if they'll go for it. Since the teachers get to decide how to spend the money and they can spend it on anything that makes their teaching life easier, they should be pretty motivated to take one for the team!

I think contests are a great idea! That makes kids really work for it!
