How does the program work? It's simple!
1. Make a purchase at any Stratford Square Mall store, restaurant, kiosk or cart between September 1, 2007 and February 29, 2008.
2. Bring your receipts to the mall Customer Service Center (located on the lower level near Center Court next to Gloria Jeans).
3. Ask for your receipt to be validated for the school of your choice. Your receipt will be stamped and returned to you, and the points will be logged for your school.
4. Receipts can be validated until the 7th of the following month of the issue date - with the exception of the month of December. All December receipts have until the end of business January 15th to validate receipts. (i.e. A receipt dated September 13, 2007 can be validated until October 7, 2007.)
5. Bonus Opportunity … receipts dated in August can be turned in for 50% of their usual value (5 points per $1.00 spent). These receipts must be turned in by October 7th.

How does the point system work?
How to earn the BIG points:
1. Schools receive 10 points for every dollar spent. Dollar amounts are rounded above or below 50¢.
2. An extra 10 points will be earned with every dollar spent using a Stratford Square Mall store's charge card or a Visa card.
3. Bonus points will be awarded throughout the program for shopping specific retailers. The bonus point retailers or programs will be announced and distributed two months at a time at monthly meetings.

Newsletters/Flyers - 250 points
Schools will earn 250 points for distributing information about the Shop Stratford for Schools for Schools program in the following formats: article in school newspaper, article in neighborhood association newsletter, flyer home to parents, article in church bulletin - limit to ONE bulletin per month - (any church bulletin), announcement in music/theatre or athletic program. A copy must be provided to mall indicating school name, date distributed, and how distributed.

What are the responsibilities of the school coordinators?
School Coordinators act as the liaison between Stratford Square Mall and the school. Responsibilities include:
1. Attendance at monthly meetings. These meetings usually last no longer than 20 minutes.
2. Informing students and parents about the program by including information in newsletters, adding it as an agenda item at PTA/PTO meetings and distributing flyers provided by Stratford Square Mall to students/parents.
3. Picking up Shop Stratford for Schools-related flyers from the mall and distributing them to student body and faculty. Schools will be given plenty of notice.
4. Maintaining a minimum of 200,000 points to be considered for participation in future Shop Stratford for Schools programs.

3. Receipts are deemed to be leftovers from a retailer's daily business.
4. Receipts are expired from a previous month.

How much money will be awarded?
