I have since my daughter started school 4 years ago, and I was wondering, is it worthwhile?

Yes Yes Yes!! Please keep sending them. Last year I was able to purchase 6 additional microscopes beyond what my school gave me. This allows me to have many more hands-on experiences for my 5th grade students. Thank you so much for helping out your school! Keep it up!! :)

It adds up. What you collect might end up being worth a few dollars, but if most families in a school contribute, the school will get enough to buy something significant. The expiration on those boxtops is something like 3 or 4 years from now. The campaigns aren't short, in other words.

The schools definiely earn some great things. I think that anything free is great ,esp. since everything is priced so high and the schools have been forced to make too many cutbacks. It is really easy for parents to cut these off the packages and throw them into a bag of coffee can. Our school also saves Campbells lables and area grocery stores donate 1 % from receipts that are turned in. Let's keep helping our kids!

Yes it can be very worthwhile. You can get very nice rewards. One year my school got enough for 3 computers. You have to collect alot to get anything really good. We had every child participate, it was a grade level competition the prize was a pizza party.

I save them for a friend who still has young children in school.
