Looking for Something to do Today?

With school closed today (1/27/11) for inclement weather, why not help out our school and our kids with a little Boxtops action? There's a cool new collection form for Valentine's Day!

Get the kids involved. Print out the new collection form, have them color and decorate the form, and then fill it with Boxtops. Be sure to put the child's name on the form, and send it in to school.

We take care of the rest. We count them, sort them, make sure everything is completed properly so we get credit for your efforts, and we submit them to the Boxtops folks.

If you'd like to see how we're doing so far this year, just go to the Boxtops website and sign in. If you don't have a Boxtops account you can sign up for one fast and free.

There are lots of other great things on the Boxtops for Education website as well. You can print coupons to take to the grocery store, print more collection forms with different themes, create collection boxes, get recipes, and shop online at some of your favorite stores through the Boxtops Marketplace.

Whatever you do, have fun with this, and get creative. Ask 10 friends, family members or coworkers to help out. Ask each of them to complete one collection sheet, which is the equivalent of $1.00 raised for our kids. When your 10 helpers have given you their forms, you've just raised $10.00 more for our school and our kids. If 100 families did this, we'd raise an additional $1000.00 without a whole lot of effort.

If you have any ideas for Boxtops fundraising efforts, or if you have any questions, please email us at PTABearCreek@bcps.org.

Thanks!
