Let's Talk PASSION!

There are some things in life that I am just PASSIONATE about.

Besides the immediate obvious things:

my husband, my children, my extended family and friends,

I am passionate about my children's LIVES.

Their lives, their academic growth, their POTENTIAL.

One of the very best ways I can support that is to support their school.

There are lots of ways I support my kids schools:

I get involved through volunteering my time:

 (as in, WAAAAY involved. As in, a dessert party 

for over 300 people next week. 

I wouldn't have gotten that involved had a known the number!)

I get involved by showing my support

for the teachers and the administration.

I get involved by fundraising and giving money.

Ah, fundraising.

We all hate that word, don't we?

I mean, large buckets of frozen cookie dough

and reams of gift wrap, year after year.

Yeah, I know.

BUT.... What if I told you that you could fundraise for the school

with no effort,

in your jammies,

doing what you usually do?

WOULD YOU FEEL THE PASSION THEN??

Through Rocketxl, I found that Box Tops for Education

has an online marketplace.

What does this mean for you?

It means that you do your regular online shopping 

that you were going to do anyway

(Yes, you were too, don't even TRY to deny it!)

and your child's school GETS A PERCENTAGE OF THE MONEY.

You don't pay more, it just happens!

For example, I spent 60$ at JC Penney.

I bought three reversible cotton bathmats on clearance

for the master bathroom 

(and I kid you not, I have been needing these for TWO YEARS

but I wanted all cotton and reversible and DANG those are hard to find

at a good price!)

and a meat thermometer (mine broke on Thanksgiving. Good timing.)

When I made those greedy little purchases, 

my kids' elementary school got 3% of the money I spent.

Really, how awesome is that?

GIFT FOR MYSELF= BENEFITS MY KIDS SCHOOL!!

I urge you to check it out. 

There are stores there for every thing you could want to buy.

It takes you to the store's regular site 

and you can still take advantage of the promos, free shipping etc 

that the store is offering.

Generosity: It does a body good!
