School Success Stories

We would love to hear your school's success story! Tell us who you are, how much you earned, and what you did with the money. We love pictures and videos! Send your story to (with the pictures as attachments), to .

In the meantime, here are some tips to help you boost participation:

1. Be sure the link to the L2L Shopping List is on your school's home page. Here's the link to embed:

2. Set a meaningful goal that most people agree is attainable and important. Then, make it visual with a poster, post cards (you can get a bunch of them inexpensively from many online printers), samples – whatever you can think of to bring the goal to life.
3. Track your school's progress in a highly visible way. We have all seen those posters of thermometers in the lunchroom that you fill in as more money comes in – well, they work because it keeps the goal on everyone's mind. It doesn't take long before everyone is watching, shopping, redeeming – and counting!
4. Get everyone involved, including your neighbors and relatives. Pass out copies of the L2L Shopping List to everyone you know! The Labels 2 Learn codes are easy to find on the packages, once you know what to look for. But people who do not have children in your school will not know what to do until you ask them to collect the codes for you. Don't be shy! And if they do not want to redeem the codes themselves (maybe they don't have a computer at home), you can do it for them.
5. Make this a fun experience by celebrating the milestones along the way. One school we know of puts up a new number every day in the foyer so the kids and parents see it as they come in the building. After every $100 is raised, another goofy hat goes on a stuffed mascot sitting by the number – so the show gets better and better!
