Stop and Shop, Big Y and More....

This is an easy way to raise funds for our school and it doesn’t cost you anything except for a few minutes of your time to sign up at the places that you shop. If you have friends or family members that shop at Stop and Shop, Big Y, Target, Atkins, and A 2 Z. Let them know they can designate Mark’s Meadow Elementary School to benefit from their purchases. As the holidays approach please look at these store for your purchases.

Last year and this school year-to-date our families that have enrolled in Big Y’s Education Express program have earned a total of more than 450,000 Education Express Points for Mark’s Meadow. These points will be redeemed to purchase school equipment from the Big Y Education Express catalog. In the past we have purchased a drum set for the Music department. So this program really helps us in keeping our programs full of fun and enriching. It is necessary to enroll your card every year.
