As school begins this week, we’ll be inundated with information, curriculum nights, PTA meetings, school lunch forms. The pressure will start for funding raising ideas. Every school goes through it.
Budget cuts get deeper every year and the shortfall has to be made up somewhere.
Here’s a simple fundraising idea that is easy to implement and everyone can contribute.
Boxtops…. you know those little things on lots of brands of packaged food. You probably have a dozen in your pantry and don’t even know. You get 10c per logo. If you clip them, save them and send them to school with your child, the school can send them off to Boxtops 4 Education and receive a check for you to do something useful for the school. It’s surprising how quickly they add up.
If your school doesn’t already take advantage of the program, suggest it at the next PTA meeting and get collecting. For more info go to www.boxtops4education.com and check it out.
