Box Tops and Labels and Lids

We are smack in the middle of our annual Box Tops contest. Classes are competing all through November for the glory and honor of being the top Box Top collector. Each of these little beauties is worth $.10, and while that may hardly seem worth the effort of digging through your drawers to find the scissors (where are those blasted scissors?!?), rumor has it that one class has already gathered enough of these money scraps to total $100. Each year we average about $1000 from this effort, so it really does make a difference.

As an FYI, you can collect all year, but November is the only time the classes compete. It works well to have some sort of can or bag in your kitchen where you can keep the labels and then send them each year in November.

For a some extra positive karma, trim the labels exactly on the dotted lines. If you don't do it, our lovely PTA volunteers will have to do it, because the sponsoring company is a tad persnickety about that.

We are also collecting Campbell's soup labels and Cream 'O Weber milk lids (please rinse them off).

Trash that transforms into money--dreamy!

p.s. Happy Veteran's Day to any veterans out there!
