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.
