Long Meadow Elementary School received $5,592.41 from Stop & Shop's A+ School Rewards program; the funds will provide smart boards in the school.

In its second year, A+ School Rewards  provided Stop & Shop customers with an easy tool to raise money for local schools. Customers designated the points they earned for every dollar spent at Stop & Shop to the school or schools of their choice by registering their Stop & Shop Card.

More than 3,100 schools in the Northeast will benefit from Stop & Shop’s A+ School Rewards which provided customers with an easy tool to raise money for local schools. Customers accrued points from October 8, 2010 through March 24, 2011 which added up to valuable cash rewards for local schools. Participating schools had the opportunity to secure additional cash rewards from $100 – $1,000 through principal challenges, writing and art contests.

“We are proud to support educational initiatives and know that this year’s participating schools will be able to use these monies to enhance their students learning experience,” said Arlene Putterman, Manager of Public and Community Relations for Stop & Shop. “We recognize that these youths are our future leaders and we’re proud to make this investment in the communities where we operate.”
