STOP & SHOP cards - REGISTER them !!!

We hate to keep repeating this but it is SO easy and needs to be repeated to remind people.  If you register your Stop and Shop card, for free - they will in turn give your designated school a portion of your grocery bill total - FOR FREE !!  It is very simple.  Step 1 - log onto Stop & Shop website, www.stopandshop.com/aplus  Step 2 - enter your information and select your school.  Done. Thank you.

Now, for Chestnut Street School we have 10 cards registered. Only 10.  Stop & Shop is right here in our neighborhood.  George Washington Elementary has 50 cards registered ($140 approximately, so far), I KNOW there are more than 50 families that shop at Stop & Shop.  REGISTER your card.  Cornwell Avenue School has 32 cards registered (approximately $80 so far).  PLEASE go register, I know times are tough, but no matter how much you spend they give us a certain percentage for FREE - thats NO money out of your pocket.  You are shopping at S & S anyway, they give the school of your choice FREE money !!!  PLEASE REGISTER YOUR STOP & SHOP CARD !
