ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Military students can turn
good grades into rewards – and a chance at a $2,000 gift card – with the Army
& Air Force Exchange Service’s You Made the Grade program.
Through the program, first through twelfth graders who
maintain a B average or better are eligible to receive a coupon booklet filled
with free offers and discounts from the Robins Air Force Base Exchange.
“For 16 years, the Exchange has been honored to reward
military students who make it their mission to succeed in the classroom through
the You Made the Grade program” said Robins Exchange general manager, Stephanie
Wilson.
“Soldiers’ or airmen’s children face unique challenges,
including making multiple moves during their academic careers,” Stephanie
Wilson said, noting Department of Defense Education Activity reports that most
military children move six to nine times before finishing high school. “These
students deserve to be recognized for their achievements, and the Robins
Exchange is happy to thank them for a job well done.”
The You Made the Grade coupon booklet, which features new
coupons for the 2016-17 school year, includes offers for free food from
Exchange venues.
Students who make the grade will also score at Snack Avenue
with a free fountain drink, Yeti beverage, frozen drink or iced tea; free
roller-grill hot dog, Tornado or Rollerbite; and complimentary 14-ounce Crystal Cool Cow
milk.
The program helps students head to class in style with
coupons for a free haircut, 10 percent off footwear and $5 off Under Armour
apparel. All offers are valid through July 31, 2017.
The booklet also includes an entry form for the You Made the
Grade semiannual sweepstakes. Scholars can enter to win Exchange gift cards
worth $2,000, $1,500 or $500. Entries can be submitted once per grading period, with drawings typically held in June and December.
Students, including those who are home schooled, can receive
a You Made the Grade coupon booklet by presenting a valid military I.D. and
proof of an overall B average at the Robins Exchange Customer Service Desk.
Eligible students can pick up one booklet for each qualifying report card.
