So far this year, we've done $2260 approximately. I'm not a coordinator, just on the PFO.
Early on, the PFO sent reminders home with parents about the Boxtop program, and also educated parents on what the money goes toward. For me, that's when it started making me collect them--when I knew that the school has NO budget money for paper. Every piece of paper in our school is paid for with boxtop money. So, instead of having to bring in reams of paper at the beginning of the year and again at Christmas/New Year time, I just bring in LOTS of boxtops. My coworkers also save them for me, as does our pastor's family, so I think I've donated about $50 in boxtops for the school at this point.
Personally, I never donated before because I had no idea why I should, or what it would go towards. Now that I know, I'm pretty dedicated about it
