There comes a time in life when reality sets in, when you realize that the schools your children attend need your support to thrive. Each of us has that moment when we recognize that simple things and small steps all lend way to making a big difference.

The time between waking up and sending the kids out to school and their return home happens fast, it seems like time just slips on ice and delivers these kids home faster than I sent them. After school is a little hectic in our world because we have to get ready for after school sports and that means I need to feed the kids fast!

BENEFITS OF AFTER SCHOOL SNACK OPTIONS FOR YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL 

I used to teach Spanish at my children’s Catholic School. While the school itself was in a wonderfully wealthy area, the school did not have the funding it needed to survive all the ‘extras’ the kids could benefit from. The kids were bringing in their own basketballs, and field balls just to have things to do at playground time, it was ridiculous.

Our PTA was very strong, our drive to help our kids thrive in everything from academia to physical fitness was stronger and as a group of moms, we pushed hard to make things happen. What we did was work smarter, not harder for fund raising.

SCHOOL SNACKS, REGULAR PURCHASES

We asked our parents to get involved, even those not in the PTA, we asked them to collect all the Box Tops from everything they bought, which meant, no money needed to donate, just a quick snip off their food and paper products and send it in with the kids.

To incentivize the homerooms we offered turn in dates for a week each month and whichever classroom turned in the most Box Tops won a pizza party. You should see how many Box Tops got turned in.

The hardest part was sorting Box Tops, making sure they were cut to perfection and getting them organized for turn in and redemption. We had a group of moms come together, offered up coffee and chatter and they went at the sorting party.

THE DIFFERENCE

Our school that could not afford a proper playset for the playground got a brand new playset. Books for the science lab, and musical instruments for the music room were all purchased. We really made a difference in what our kids had versus not and the smiles on the kids on the playground were priceless.

Head to your local Walmart and shop for the products that you normally buy, such as the ones I am showing you. Uuse your receipts to verify the purchase. Snip those Box Tops and send them to your school. Grab the Box Tops App too and make sure you are signed up to help your school or pick your school of choice if you don’t have kids of school age. It’s that easy.

These products are always on the Go To School list as well!

    My Kiddies love Totino’s and Box Tops are something we always try to collect. Our school has benefited from them so much in the past few years!

    Very attractive look. This product can match the taste of the students and so they don’t need to go outside of the school to buy their snacks. This is so practical and nutritious at the same time.

    I like the idea of the box top app. It sure is better than clipping those coupons and losing them. Thanks for letting me know. I’m downloading the app to help support the local school in my area, and of course, I would get that delicious Totino’s pizza too.

    That looks like a delicious slice of pizza for me! I am happy that there are so many products that offer Box Tops for Education coupons, Patronizing these products and turning in those coupons are a great way to show our support.

    This is such a great way to help support schools! I know people get tired of donating money and doing fundraisers so this is an easy way to get lots of others involved.

    My kids come home from school starving! Snack time is mandatory, but knowing I can help out their school makes it that much sweeter.

    Thank you so much for this post. I used to save box tops all the time when my kids were in school, but there’s no reason I shouldn’t continue to do it. Thank you for the reminder!
