Does your childs school collect them? Do you send them in?
Any idea how much they (the school) made from them last year?
My boys school collects them. I've always cut them out and sent them in. My Mom has given us hers also. Last year they collected a few dollars shy of two thousand dollars! (they sent a letter home reminding us to send them in and told us the amount from last year- that's the only reason I know)
The reason I thought of this...my third graders teacher told him he needed to glue the box tops to this piece of paper that she provided. I had just sent them in a zip lock. He wanted to bring them in cuz he said whichever class brings in the most will get a pizza party. I call BS on gluing them down cuz I know they have to be cut out on the line and bundled a certain way. My Moms school did it last year and she helped..they found it to be to much of a pain. I can't bel. someone wants to take the time to peel them off the paper Ugh and we sure don't want to take the time to glue them on just to have them pulled off. I just sent them with the younger child the next day LOL sorry guess the older one might not get a pizza party?
Not that I know of. I will have to too what happens this year :)
heheh so from a coordinator they ahve to be in groups of 50 and can't be stapled. They also have to have the exp dates on them. If they're ripped off they don't count. Thats it. They can be taped or glued just not stapled. and you can send in however many you want.
On the top corners it has the code for what item in came from and the year it expires and on the bottom it has the full date it expires. as long as it has a complete m/d/y on it, in any combo its accepted. If its unreadable or missing or ripped up, they won't accept them. Thats what makes being a coordinator hard bc you have to go through ALL of them and make sure they are right. Sometimes I would even tape them myself because it was easier to count. BUT I will warm that gluing the plastic-y ones or metallic ones is a bad idea bc they fall off. Super glue doesn't even hold them.

thanks for the inside info :)
I guess it would be easier for the teacher to count them in they're all glued on a sheet of paper..maybe that's why she asked for him to do that? I don't know but we weren't going to spend out time doing it
maybe for thier own knowledge for the class contest. But there should be a coordinator for your school. who knows. but its not a rule, so go ahead and send em in. My one sons class glued them in class during extra time.
