Giveaway: Avery Dennison School Supplies & Box Tops for Education

by

Now that school’s back in session, the focus has shifted to helping our schools raise money to afford new supplies, equipment and programs to provide better education for our kids! This year, Avery Dennison has partnered with Box Tops for Education, and Avery school supplies now include coupons to clip and turn in to your school to be redeemed for cash.

Avery Dennison sent me this great gift basket of products so I can share my thoughts on them, plus I get to give the same basket away to one of my readers! I wish I could say I’m an organized person, but I subscribe more to the organized chaos theory. However, products like these inspire me to file things away in a more orderly manner. I enjoyed sorting and filing and labeling my papers with Avery’s easy-to-use systems. Now if only I could keep them that way!

And who could resist the handy tote it was all packaged in? I have baskets and totes like these all over the house to corral all of our stuff. We have far more “stuff” than we actually need, but that’s a project best tackled when I give these crutches the boot. Anyone want to help?

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a back-to-school prize package (worth over $50!) full of Avery Dennison school and office supplies, including: Hi-Liters, labels, GlueStics, binders, dividers, sheet protectors, Marks-a-Lot permanent markers, and t-shirt transfers!

To enter, share your favorite way to get involved at your kids’ schools! Do you volunteer in the classroom? Coordinate the bookfair? Help with fundraising?

    My son isn’t in school yet, but I do volunteer at his school already with hot lunch on Wednesdays (it’s a really small school that only has hot lunch once a week).

    I love to do parent work days. Teachers leave some of their items to copy, cut out, or laminate and the parents who come do it for them. It gives them more time to plan, be with the kids, or just leave work a little early.

    I wish that I could be more involved in my oldest son’s kindergarten class, but it’s difficult with my 3 year old still at home. I do plan on helping this year in my 3 year old’s class, though, and there will still be time to volunteer when they are both in school.

    I have 3 boys with the oldest in 1st grade. I can’t volunteer so I carry a list of supplies his teacher needs and when I find them on sale I purchase them for her. I would love to win this for her!!!
