Good grades pay off at the Offutt Exchange Published June 1, 2012 OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. -- According to the Military Child Education Coalition, an estimated 80 percent of military connected children are forced to move between six and nine times as they complete their K-12 education. With these unique challenges in mind, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service rewards military students who excel. In fact, school children who receive a report card with an overall "B" average or better can pick up an array of free and discounted products through the Offutt Exchange's "You Made the Grade" program. Now in its twelfth year, "You Made the Grade" offers include a free Burger King hamburger kids meal, a magazine of their choice and even a complimentary haircut, to name a few. Students "making the grade" can also register for a drawing to win a $2,000, $1,500 or $500 Exchange gift card. "Military students who excel in the classroom despite multiple moves and deploying parents deserve to be recognized," said Anna Stanton, Offutt Exchange's general manager. "While good grades are their own reward, this program recognizes the hard work and dedication required of pupils at the head of the class." To receive a "You Made the Grade" booklet, eligible students can simply present a valid military ID and proof of an overall "B" or better average to the Offutt AFB Exchange. Students may receive one coupon package for every qualifying report card, but may enter the gift card drawing only once per grading period. Military families can contact the Offutt Exchange for more information about "You Made the Grade" at 402-291-9100.
