That's a GREAT Report Card!

Education, free, school, report cards

By Diane Braun April 11, 2021

The one thing I get asked the most is who is giving out rewards for good grades.  I try to post on Facebook whenever I find something or someone shares with me but the recent closings have truly affected businesses' ability to give things away.

Please share any rewards you know of with us either through our website or Facebook page.  I'd love to create a guide highlighting not only national franchises but also local businesses before the end of the school year to make searching easier!

  • Justice Stores – participating locations have given $5 off in-store purchase when you bring in a report card within 30 days of issue.
  • Limited Too – save $5 off in-store purchase when you bring in a report card within 30 days of issue.
  • Bob Evans: Select locations offer a free scoop of ice cream for students that received good grades.

The one caution I would give you is to do as recommended and "check with your local business to see if they participate" before heading there.

Good luck and CONGRATS to those students earning these free rewards!
