Box Tops For Education – Help Your Child’s School Just By Shopping – With B&N Giveaway

There may be some of you that are not quite finished giving Christmas gifts yet, for one reason or another. Maybe you’re waiting for payday to come so you can do some online shopping before you see that friend you don’t see very often. Maybe you’re waiting for a loved one to return home. Maybe you’re not holiday shopping, maybe you’re just shopping for yourself, or an upcoming anniversary or birthday. No matter what the reason you’re shopping, why not let your shopping benefit your child’s school by shopping in the Box Tops Marketplace.

The Box Tops Marketplace program earns money for your child’s school cash every time you shop online at a participating store. There are more than 100 popular, well known stores participating in the program at this time, including stores like Dell, Victoria’s Secret, Target and Best Buy. All you need to do to participate is sign up for the program and choose what school you want to support. Products sold through the marketplace cost the same through the program as they would if you weren’t buying through the program. Program members are still eligible for sale prices, promotions and deals and members are also eligible for special sales and promotions just for Box Tops supporters. For those of you with children in different schools, no worries! You can have more than one school in your profile. If you don’t have children of your own you can still participate in the program and support the child of a friend or relative. A school can earn up to $20,000 a year through this program so you can see why this is a valuable program.

If you’re shopping the Box Tops Marketplace you’ll definitely want to look at their newest addition – the My Class Essentials registry. This registry is a registry created by a teacher and works similarly to a baby registry. Teachers can choose from over 6,000 student and classroom materials in 13 product categories, including:

* Skill builders such as flash cards
* Free-time reading books
* Lesson workbooks
* Motivating bulletin board sets for the classroom
* And much more!

Items purchased are sent directly to the teacher so they can start using their new supplies right away. If you wish you can also donate money to a classroom registry, which can then be used by the teacher to purchase registry items. This is great for teachers and the school because the teachers get what they need and the school gets 2% cash back  with every registry purchase.

Be sure to check out the Deals and Discounts Page or follow them on Twitter to receive a daily update.

So who wants some help with their shopping?
