I sent you an email, hope you get it and I hope the information is helpful. Oh I drew 40 blocks around our school neighborhood in the greatrace challenge -- not 4...sorry...
I love having 4 challenges a year. And I especially love winning a jeans day. Do you have any word documents you could share with me explaining your Box Top Yearly Challenges? I am a visual person and would actually love to see how your cafeteriaI race looks. What is a block in the tower? Are the playing cards collected daily as they come in or weekly? If you have any pix you could email I would love to see them. How many people help on this Box Top Committee? As you can see, I would love to do this at our school. My children have attended 2 separate elementary schools and neither school has ever colleted that much money. How many children attend your school and what are the grades? Could you tell me more about the Summer Bag collection?
Thanks a bunch,

Our school has four box tops challenges a year. The first one runs from Mid-September to January and its called Box Tops Football challenge. Each students gets a playing card that looks like a football field. They tape box tops (tape to the back only) or glue stick them to the playing cards to earn touch downs. The classroom that collects the most box tops (touchdowns) wins a jeans day and the top collector a prize. The second is Boys vs. Girls. 25 box tops earns a block in the tower. The team the collects the most box tops wins. The first year the boys won! We have a great race challenge and use teachers faces on cut out sneakers and run a track around the cafeteria. In this challenge each team (grade level) has to collect x number of box tops. The teams that reach their goal win a jeans day and the team that collects the most is rewarded an ice cream social. Final collection is the Summer Bag collection. Our teachers and kids love these collections and have a blast. We have doubled our collection! We earned over $2,300 last year! Good luck!
We purchased indoor recess carts last year with some box tops money--and filled them full of inddor games and coloring books, crayons, playdough,leggos, cars, barbies,puzzles--well just anything that kids could play with on the indoor recess days--we have 1 cart for Kindergarten and 1st grade and then one cart for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade to share. We even had enough games(shop clearance LOL) to put new games in the carts this year.
