Amy’s Attic Self Storage launches student rewards program in Temple

Amy’s Attic Self Storage is giving Temple-area students in grades 1-5 a way to earn goodie bags for strong grades, academic improvement or perfect attendance, with perfect-attendance students also entered into a bicycle drawing. The community program aims to recognize effort during the school year and encourage families to celebrate progress.

Why it matters: - Amy’s Attic Self Storage is using a local rewards program to encourage academic effort, school improvement and attendance among elementary students. - The program gives families a tangible incentive tied to school performance, not just final grades. - Perfect-attendance students get an extra shot at a bicycle, which adds a larger prize to a school-based recognition effort.

What happened: - Amy’s Attic Self Storage launched the Amy’s Attic Student Achievement & Perfect Attendance Rewards Program in Temple, Texas. - The program is open to students in grades 1 through 5. - Qualifying students can receive an Amy’s Attic goodie bag for academic achievement, academic improvement or perfect attendance. - Students with perfect attendance can also enter a bicycle drawing.

The details: - In the first semester or grading period, students qualify for a goodie bag by earning an A average or the highest academic score or rating available for their grade level. - In later grading periods, students can qualify either by earning an A average or top available score or by showing academic improvement compared with the previous qualifying grading period. - Perfect-attendance students must visit a participating Amy’s Attic Self Storage location with a parent or adult guardian. - Students must bring school documentation showing perfect attendance to enter the bicycle drawing. - Perfect-attendance students receive one bicycle-drawing entry for each qualifying semester or grading period. - A bicycle winner will be selected at the end of the school year from eligible entries. - Each goodie bag includes a small gift, the student’s choice of water or soda, and a selection of sweets. - Students seeking recognition for grades or improvement must bring a report card or other school-issued documentation showing qualifying grades or progress.

Between the lines: - The program is designed to recognize more than top academic performers. - By allowing students to qualify through improvement, Amy’s Attic broadens the pool of children who can be celebrated. - The attendance component reinforces a message that showing up consistently matters. - Bob Vamvas, director of operations, said the company wants children to know that effort, improvement and perfect attendance are worth celebrating. - The company also sees the program as a way for parents and guardians to reinforce hard work, persistence and responsibility.

What’s next: - Qualifying students can continue to visit participating Amy’s Attic Self Storage locations throughout the school year. - Families should bring the required school documentation to receive the goodie bag and, when eligible, bicycle-drawing entry. - The bicycle drawing will conclude with a winner selected at the end of the school year.

The bottom line: - Amy’s Attic Self Storage is turning school achievement into a community giveaway, with rewards for grades, progress and attendance.
