Box Tops

You’ve seen them at the grocery store -- The Box Tops for Education hot pink, white, blue, and yellow coupons that can be found on the top of General Mills products. These sometimes very tiny coupons are worth 10 cents apiece to the WPVA. That may not sound like a lot, but it adds up -- the WPVA was able to collect over $2,600 during the last school year from this program.

What are the ways I can participate?

Collect Box Tops Coupons
In addition to the one received in the WPS June mailing, students will bring home Box Tops collection sheets six times during the school year. They will cover the appropriate grids with Box Tops (like the one at the top of this page). Any Bonus Box Tops Coupons (oversized or special supermarket generated coupons) should be placed in a plastic bag and attached to the sheet. Then mark off with an X the corresponding number of Box Top spaces on the collection sheet. Students turn in the collection sheets by the noted due date. If you need more forms you can copy the one you have, or email (Lklumph@aol.com) and she will send you a file that prints as a word document.

Join the Box Tops for Education Booster Club
All you have to do is go online to www.boxtops4education.com and register, designating Windermere Prep as your beneficiary. Registration takes only a few minutes. By registering, you’ll not only receive information on Box Tops contests and bonus opportunities, but you’ll get access to money-saving coupons, easy mealtime solutions, exclusive access to the Box Tops Marketplace, and so much more. Best of all, it’s absolutely free! You’ll also help Windermere Prep qualify for Bonus Box tops. This fall Box Tops is offering seven free Box Tops for every new Booster that registers on the web site. These are automatically tallied.

Shop through the Box Tops Marketplace
Like the School Pop program, Box Tops has a Marketplace. Logging on to their website www.boxtops4education.com and doing your online shopping through their portal garners rebates for WPVA. You’ll earn up to 8% of every qualifying purchase for the WPVA. Consistently throughout the years, Box Tops has had the highest rebate rate of any of the other rebate programs from Oriental Trading, which many of you use to buy classroom and party favors. So, when placing your Oriental Trading order, don’t forget to log in to Box Tops first.

Apply for and Use a Box Tops Visa card
Again, like School Pop, Box Tops has its own Visa® card., that offers a 1% rebate back to our school. They also offer a $5 bonus on activation.

What are Class Challenge contests and Bonus Prize drawings?

Each new challenge is marked by students bringing home a new Box Tops Collection Sheet.
Individually, students receive a small thank you gift, for each collection sheet they turn in. Plus, they are entered into a Bonus Prize Drawing, which is held soon after each challenge deadline. Donated prizes for these drawings in the past have included everything from 5-inch televisions, CD boom boxes, store gift cards, and telephones.
As a class, homerooms compete for different prizes from Heart Healthy Snacks to Pizza parties throughout the year. (If your family doesn’t complete enough sheets for each student in your family, split the credit by noting all the children’s names on the sheet.) Be sure to turn in incomplete sheets as well. Every Box Top counts when it comes to classroom totals.
Special Commendation. The WPVA acknowledges the top collectors of Box Tops at the end of the school year across the grades. Certificates and pins are presented.
