KNOXVILLE, Tennessee — You've heard of them, seen them and maybe collected them.
Box tops for education. And this week parents and students can earn extra Box Tops and money for their school.
National Box Tops Week means people receive an additional Box Top on every participating Box Top product.
The bonus counts for products purchased before Sept. 22. It is limited to 20 claims per receipt.
One Box Top is just 10 cents, but the program has donated more than $913 million to schools since 1996.
The money schools and teachers receive can help them buy supplies that might normally come out of their own pocket. In turn, making the learning environment a better place for students.
"People don't understand what $1000, $500 or $50 how far that can stretch," Stephanie Meredith with Andersonville Elementary said. "If I can make them happy and they feel loved in my classroom, that is when they are learning."
Getting those donations has also gotten easier. People can now scan their receipts through an app instead of cutting out the little squares off products.
Once scanned, the app will identify the Box Tops products and send money to the school of choice.
You can download the app through your app store.
