RMS PARTICIPATES IN REWARDS PROGRAMS - PLEASE JOIN US!!!
Riverside Middle School participates in the A+ Bonus Bucks Program. Please support our school by registering your Stop and Shop cards.   

With A+ School Rewards, points accrue with each purchase where the Stop & Shop Card is used. It even works with purchases made online with Peapod by Stop & Shop. At the end of each month, these points determine your school's cash total which is automatically credited to its account and school totals updated each month. (Please note: Gift cards (excluding store brand gift cards), pharmacy, alcohol and/or cigarette purchases are excluded from accruing points.)

A+ School Rewards are rounded per transaction to the nearest whole dollar amount. At the end of each month, each school's dollar amount is determined which is then automatically credited to its account.

 
 
We also collect Box Tops for Education.  They can be dropped off in the main office.
