Kids spend most of their days in schools and the education and experiences they get throughout their school years will have a huge impact on their lives. There are many ways in which you can support your child’s school. Getting involved not only gives you the opportunity to improve your child’s school but also shows your kids you take an interest in their school. By getting involved and taking actions to improve your school and community you are also setting a great example for your children and teaching them a very valuable lesson.
3 Easy Ways to Support Your Kid’s School
There are many ways in which you can give back your child’s school. By getting involved and taking actions to support your child’s school you are not only helping to support important programs and improve the school grounds, but you are also teaching your children to give back to their community and get involved.
Take Advantage of Box Tops for Education
One of the easiest ways to support your child’s school is to clip Box Tops for education. The Box Tops for Education program lets you give back to your school by simply buying products that you already use. All you have to do is look for products that have Box Tops for Education on them, clip them and send them to your child’s school. Each Box Top is worth 10 cents for your school. Box Tops can provide a school with thousands of dollars in funding. A little goes a long way when lots of families get involved. 
The Box Tops for Education program also makes it easy for your child to get involved by collecting the Box Tops and taking them to school. My son gets really excited about collecting box tops because he knows that he is helping his school. 
We’re very excited that Nestlé® Pure Life® is now partnering with Box Tops for Education. On my last trip to Walmart, I grabbed the Nestlé® Pure Life® 8oz. bottles with SpongeBob packaging, which not only have one of my kid’s favorite characters on them but also have Box Tops for Education. I love it when the products we love and use every week have Box Tops for Education because it makes it so much easier to give back. We always get Nestle® Pure Life® water because Nestlé® sources their water from wells or municipal supplies, then put it through a 12-step quality process. This means that it meets strict standards for bottled water. And you can be sure to enjoy the same crisp, clean taste wherever you pick up a bottle. Nestlé® also enhances their purified water with a light blend of minerals for a distinctive, refreshing taste everyone can enjoy. No wonder it’s the #1 bottled water globally.
My son is very picky about his water; he loves the taste and now that we’re buying the Nestlé® Pure Life® 8oz. bottles with SpongeBob packaging he’s even more excited to take these to school in his lunch box. Having a fun water bottle is a great incentive to get him to drink more water, which is also great!
My kids love when I pack these fun Nestlé® Pure Life® SpongeBob water bottles in their lunches, and I love being able to support their school by purchasing brands that participate in the Box Tops program.
Get Involved
Whether you volunteer or join the PTO or attend a school meeting, getting involved in your child’s school not only benefits the school but also shows your child that you’re taking an interest in their school. It doesn’t matter if your kids are younger or in high school, getting involved with your child’s school will always have a very positive impact. Now that both of my kids will be in middle school I find that it’s even more important to get involved and volunteer. A lot of parents volunteer during the elementary school years but by the time kids get to middle and high school many parents are not participating anymore and there is a greater need. Getting involved in your child’s school can give you an insight into the what’s going on in their lives, what the fads and trends are which in turn will help you understand them better.
Donate
From pencils and books to hand sanitizers and art supplies, schools are always in need of donations. The best way to find out what those needs are is to call your school or talk to your child’s teacher and ask them for a wish list. There’s a chance you may even have many of the things you need lying around at home. You can also donate money or help raise funds for individual projects and even get your kids involved in the process! When it comes to supporting your child’s school even small things like clipping Box Tops for Education can have a huge impact. So next time you’re shopping for groceries at Walmart consider picking up products like that have Box Tops for Education like the Nestlé® Pure Life® 8oz. bottles with SpongeBob packaging.

Oh man, school. My son is only 3.5 months old. I haven’t thought about school AT ALL. But at some point soon that will be our reality!
Small ways to make sure our children eat and grow healthy with the knowledge of how much health passes through food.
I do a lot of these. Box Tops are so easily to collect and turn in. I’ve also donated many times.
I remember box tops! It’s so important to support our local schools – Good job mama.
My kids school does Box Tops and we try to buy products with the Box Tops. My kids do a great job of collecting them
This is awesome. Box tops are awesome and it is great that Nestle is collaborating with them.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I think all moms should read this and try to learn a lot. I am sure kids are going to be into this too.
So many great ideas. I suppose parents in US can be benefited from this. Education systems are so wildly different from country to country though.
Interesting concept. I don’t have kids so I never heard about it. But, I do feel that this is a cool idea.
When my kids were in elementary school, the school was very active in using BoxTops. Now, my oldest is in high school and there is almost no interest on behalf of the school to do that anymore.
These are great involvement tips!
High schools cannot participate in Box Tops for Education. Find a local elementary or middle school registered for the program and donate your Box Tops there. They’ll appreciate the additional help!
Not having children, this definitely makes a lot of sense to me. I have definitely learned a lot.
Box tops for school is a really easy way to give back! I didn’t box tops was still around! I remember bringing them to school as a child.
These really are some easy ideas. I will have to remember that when my kids start going!
These are some great ideas for supporting your childs school! I can’t wait for these kinds of things! My daughter loves school!!!
Great suggestions! Teachers give so much to our future leaders, so it makes me happy when parents take initiative to give back. Loved this post!
These are awesome ways to stay involved in your kids school. I remember doing the box tops when I was in school too. It’s awesome to see they still have that going. Thanks for sharing!
