Box Tops!!!!
You know those little pink tags on top of cereal, huggies, ziplocs, and hundreds of other items that say "10 cents for your school?" DHSA collects them and uses them to help pay for activities, like the upcoming opening social. You can bring them to any Mother's Meeting or most activities and pass them on to President Stacey Lytle or Treasurer Janet Cox. If each family collects just a few, it adds up quickly. Last year we earned $236 for our organization through box tops!!!! So far this year we've earned $37.
Collecting them is easy. I pointed them out to my kids and they keep an eye out for them on packages before they throw things in the trash. I have a ziploc bag taped to the inside of a cupboard that they drop them into. You can also ask grandparents or friends to save them for us. Stores, like Albertsons, also sometimes offer Bonus Box Tops which print at the register, like a receipt from the catalina machine. These have a bonus code that you can register online and are often worth $5. You can register and enter them yourself and designate the money to go to DHSA. You can also turn them in at Mother's Meetings and we will enter them, but beware that these often have expiration dates that come faster than regular box tops.
For example, right now Albertsons has a promotion running where you get 10 Bonus Box Tops when you purchase any 10 General Mills Box Tops for Education products.It runs from now until 4/20/2012. If you purchase any 10 General Mills Box Tops for Education products in one transaction, the online redemption code prints at checkout.
