This year, TPA will do the Fry’s Community Rewards Program as they have done in past years. The big difference this year will be that the program will be linked to your Fry’s VIP card, which transfers an amount of your purchases toward your Tempe Preparatory Academy student’s account. This year my father volunteered to coordinate the program, and I asked him about what has changed in the program from years past.

This program will benefit the families of TPA because it will offset the fees that the families have to pay for extracurricular and campus activities. Soon the Parent Teachers Organization will be having a meeting inviting all TPA families and providing the opportunity for them to find out about the new Fry’s Community Rewards Program. This will give all the families of students attending TPA an opportunity to have their questions answered, and learn more about the program. This is an excellent chance for the families of TPA to not only help their students that are attending TPA but to also contribute to the programs of the school.

Families that would like to set up a Fry’s Community Rewards Program account need to have an email account in order to get started. Specific instructions will be provided to families that attend the upcoming PTO event. If you would like to offset some of the expenses that you incur as a part of this great TPA community, we encourage you to have your parents attend.

All of us are fortunate to be a part of such an excellent tradition and history here at TPA, so do your part. Make sure that your family attends this vital PTO event in the near future. If you have questions you can contact Allen Caldwell at: awc1957@yahoo.com or Jill Myrick at: jmyrick@yahoo.com.
