Fred Meyer is donating up to $2.6 million per year - up to $650,000 each quarter - to the local schools, community organizations and nonprofits of your choice. All you have to do is link your Rewards Card and scan it every time you shop at Fred Meyer.
Here is how the program works:

• Sign up for the Community Rewards program by linking your Fred Meyer Rewards Card to Kirkland Co-op Preschool at www.fredmeyer.com/communityrewards. You can search by school name or by our non-profit number SA861.
  
• Then, every time you shop and use your Rewards Card, you are helping Kirkland Co-op Preschool earn a donation.
  
• You still earn your Rewards Points, Fuel Points and Rebates just as you do today.
  
• If you do not have a Rewards Card, they are available at the Customer Service desk of any Fred Meyer store.

Parenting Education at KCP is one of those places where, "The more you give, the more you get." Fully participate and you and your classmates (fellow parents) will get a lot out of the experience. Be a part of making this a rich experience for all. Here are six ways to maximize your experience:

1. Everyone comes to Parenting Education from different (but often similar) backgrounds with different experience levels as a parent. Always be respectful of others' parenting choices.
2. Parenting Education is a safe place for all to share and open up; do your best to be respectful and kind.
3. Confidentiality is important to respect the members of the group. Treat your Parenting Education experiences like you are in AA - keep identities private.
4. The teacher's responsibility is to present the topic, provide materials to further your investigation and facilitate the discussion.
5. The parent's responsibility is to share in the discussion, ask questions related to the topic that relate to your experience, share your experiences related to the topic to potentially further the discussion.
6. Consider the discussion section as the most important part of Parenting Education and it is only successful with your input. Parents often have wonderful insight, so please share.
