STOP AND SHOP BONUS BUCKS

We did great! This years Stop and Shop Bonus Bucks program ended in April and was the most successful effort by the PGO to date. We had 197 Families signed up and we earned $1878.62, up from 97 families last year and $1400. Congrulations to Amherst Regional High School, earning the most of ANY school that is in the Stop and Shop Program. $21,344. Make sure to look for the sign up form next Fall and let's capture some more of the community by signing up our friends, neighbors, and relatives to earn more funds for Wildwood Elementary school. It's and easy way to support our kids while simply doing our weekly shopping.

Again, great Job!
