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.
e-script is a simply way to give money to Matsuyama through a
money back program. Just register your grocery, debit or
credit card online and every time you use one of your registered
cards Matsuyama Elementary gets money back.
or example you buy a pizza at Round Table, you pay with your
debit card that is registered with e-scrip, and Matsuyama gets 6%
back on your purchase. You can find out more and register at
www.escrip.com.
