As if being a homeschool mom was not a full time job, I still find other things to keep my life interesting. In addition to my roles as wife, mom, and teacher I am a standardized testing coordinator and the box top collector for one of our homeschool groups. You can see that all of these roles keep me very busy and my schedule can get hectic at times.
It’s that time of year to submit our final box top submission for the school year. So I enlist the help of my son Christopher. He and I sit and divide the box tops into groups of ten. As we sort and discard the expired box tops, we divide them into the bundles of 50 for shipping. This is a great mother son activity and it keeps our brains sharp at the same time.
All money raised goes to our homeschool support group. The money is then used for scholarships for families that would like to participate in co-op but don’t have the financial means to do so. It’s a great cause and so I don’t mind giving of my time to keep the program going. If your child’s school or homeschool group participates, please donate. A little goes a long way.

What does a homeschool group have to do to participate?
LaTonya, that is an excellent question. I am including a toll free number a member of your support group can call to get their questions answered, for how they can get started with Box Tops.
1-888-799-2444 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. CST, five days a week
Here is a link to their FAQ page

There is also a contact us section on the bottom of their webpage. You could submit your question to them via email and they could tell you what paper work would need to be submitted. Hopefully that is helpful.
