The “Friends of Matsuyama” account provides support for school
activities. If you would like to donate to the fund, simply send
us a check made out to “Friends of Matsuyama”. If you have
something specific in mind, please call our principal and maybe
she can give you some ideas.
In addition to the 5% back in rewards all members earn, parents
can now earn extra rewards for the teacher of their choice with
the Reward A Classroom program. Here’s what teachers get when
parents shop:
2% back in rewards on everything, excluding postage,
phone/gift cards and savings passes
5% back in rewards on every Copy & Print purchase
Teachers can earn up to $50 from as many as 40 parents each year.
That’s as much as $2,000 back in rewards every year.
Thank you to all of the families that participated in the
Raley’s/Bel Air program. The Friends of Matsuyama fund
received approximately $2000 last year. Because Raley’s/Bel
Air changed their program from the Quality of Life card to the
new Something Extra card, you must go to the Something Extra
website and designate Matsuyama as your recipient. Even if
you participated last year, you must re-designate our school.
