Help Earn "Easy Money" For FASRI

We raised $800 for FASRI last year through the following programs.

We can do even better this year!

Stop & Shop A+ Bonus Bucks

Stop & Shop donates a percentage of purchases to FASRI made at their stores or through their online Peapod service.  We need as many Stop & Shop cards registered on the A+ website as possible.  Register your friends and family, too!

• Register your Stop & Shop card on their website at www.stopandshop.com/aplus 

OR

• Add your card number to the registration sheet in the FASRI office and we'll register for you.

• If you registered your card last year and want to participate again, you must re-register this year for FASRI to receive credit.

Boxtops for Education  

The Box Tops program sends a check to FASRI equal to the number of coupons collected.  You can clip 10¢ Box Tops coupons from hundreds of products such as Betty Crocker®, Juicy Juice®, Ziploc®, Kleenex®, Hefty®, Avery binders, and more. Most General Mills cereals (Chex, Cheerios, Total) have Box Tops coupons, too.  Learn more at boxtops4education.com.

• Clip Box Tops coupons from any of hundreds of products.

• Each Box Tops coupon is worth 10¢ - they add up fast.

• Drop the Box Tops coupons in the envelopes in the FASRI office or outside each maternelle classroom. 

Eastside Marketplace Friendship Fund

Anyone who shops at Eastside Marketplace can help with this one.  Just save your receipts.  Eastside Marketplace donates 1% of the total value of collected receipts to FASRI.

• Drop your Eastside Marketplace receipts in the envelope located in the FASRI office or outside each maternelle classroom.

• No receipt is too old.

If you have any questions just send an email to Karen Eberhart (mom of Abigail Ellison PS), Easy Money Coordinator, kaeberhart@yahoo.com

Thank you for your help!
