If you are a prime member your purchases are still eligible for prime just like before and you can use your existing Amazon account. Sounds easy! How do I sign up?......  - To shop you go to smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com (and not the app).
- The first time you visit Amazon Smile you will need to select Meadows Elementary as your chosen charity (find us by searching Meadows Elementary and then select "Meadows Elementary PTA").
- Every time you shop remember to use smile.amazon.com NOT amazon.com.
Send this on to friends and family!
