Box Tops for Education: Enter to Win 100,000 Box Tops For Your Child's School

Well, it's official. I've enrolled Dawson in preschool this fall, and I'm in panic mode. My baby is growing up. In just over a month, my 4-year-old will be going to school. While I'm excited that Dawson will be in a classroom setting, and will learn social skills in addition to his ABCs, I'm nervous because this means kindergarten is nearing faster than I'd like.

Once Dawson is enrolled in kindergarten, I can start giving our box tops to his school as part of the Box Tops for Education program. BTE is dedicated to raising money for schools to develop educational programs, purchase books, and buy school supplies. Right now, I've been saving them for my niece's elementary school.

Box Tops for Education has helped America's schools earn over $200 million since 1996! Schools, grades K-8, can earn up to $60,000 every year through Box Tops. I'm happy to collect these from our favorite products to help my niece and her peers receive the learning materials they need.

I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that Kimberly-Clark is teaming up with the Box Top for Education program. They've created the Rock Your School Contest, in which one lucky winner will receive the grand prize of a concert with Radio Disney Star Jordan Pruitt at their child’s school, plus 100,000 Bonus Box Tops!

100,000 Box Tops can go a long way. Every top is worth the equivalent of 10 cents, and 100,000 computes to $10,000 that your child's school can use to purchase anything they need. Computers, books, playground equipment and classroom parties are just some of the ways schools have chosen to use the funds raised through Box Tops for Education.
