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?

    How do I get involved in my kids’ schools? I do everything– I am the teacher, the volunteer, the coordinator of all field trips–just call me a homeschooling Mom!

    I am not a parent, but I do help out and volunteer at our local elementary school every so often. Usually I am reader for some of the younger classes in the library.

    I volunteer at my childrens school but I also just completed a school supply drive at my work to gather supplies for the children at the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission. These kids are homeless but still go to school (yay! for the mission and their work!).

    I enjoy doing anything and everything that I can to help my daughters school. I like to volunteer at school events such as holiday parties, dances, book fairs, and field trips. I also very much enjoy participating in food can drives for the needy. I help out by posting flyer’s around my neighborhood, asking for anyone to please drop off any can food at my house. I also post ads on craigslist.com, asking for free can food. I feel like I have a purpose here on earth by doing so! It is such an amazing feeling just knowing I was able to help out and make a difference.

    I’m looking forward to the costume parade. Still over a month away, but the kids in their Halloween costumes were too cute.

    I audit the PTA books and do the tax returns – For Free!!!

    I love being involved with my girls. It creates a lifetime bond.
