Weekend Edition~Homeschool perks

Today's post is just a reference guide to a few homeschool free coupons, discounts and perks.

Shopping perks-

Barne's and Noble, Joann's Fabrics, and Michael's all give homeschool teacher discounts.

B&N and Joann's will give you a discount card, Michael's will ask for a form of proof. I have found usually Michael's will accept my B&N or Joann's discount cards as my proof.

Barne's and Noble also have teacher appreciation days and weeks where your discount will be even larger.

Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo-
Offers a significant homeschool discount year around. Just call Guest Relations for Silver Dollar City ahead of time, and stop by their Guest Relations house, for details.

They also host a yearly Homeschool weekend, usually on the first weekend in October each year. Many crafts, and classes are only offered at this time, for varying age groups of children to enroll in during this weekend.

Reading Programs-

Pizza Hut Book it-
Reading incentive for child(ren) Kindergarten through 6th grade (ages 5-12 years old) as of September 1, of the school year. Sign up usually starts in May. They will send you 6 coupons per a child. They are valid October-March. Each for one personal pan pizza. They usually send them sometime around the end of September beginning of October. They come in snail mail. But, the sooner you sign up the better. They do close sign up for the year at a certain time.

Braum's Book Buddy-
A reading incentive for children 1st-5th grades. Their sign up starts a little later then Pizza Hut. You also go to the store you sign up with to pick up your coupons. They also send you 6 coupons per a child. Two soft serve cones, Two single dip cones, and 2 single dip sundaes, per a child for free. Their coupons are valid October thru June. Again you sign up in late spring, and the store will contact you by email for pick up around September.

Book Adventure-
I have not signed up for this yet, but I hear it's free, and children get free prizes for reading. Please comment, or email me, if you have any personal experience with this program.

Six Flags-
Reading Program K- 6th grade Deadline: January 1. For just 6 hours of recreational reading, a student is awarded a free ticket to Six Flags. Special discounts offered to others in the family and a “teacher” ticket is given to each participating family. I believe they also have incentives for grades. But, contact your local Six Flags for more details.

Report card incentives, that accept homeschool report cards-

Chuck E. Cheese-
Bring in your latest report card and get 15 game tokens. Their site says all grading systems are accepted. They confirmed homeschool report card can be accepted and they said that since they accept all grading systems that they will accept a progress report or report card showing your child’s grades.

Krispy Kreme Donuts-
Students can bring in their report card and get a free doughnut for each “A” They confirm that homeschoolers can participate and said as long as they have their report card showing their grades with them, they are welcome to participate. I would however, advise to call ahead and confirm for your own local shop. As I have found each shop can be ran very differently, from location to location.

Texas Roadhouse-
Receive a free child’s meal (K-6th) for reading your selections and meeting your goals. Call your local restaurant. Mine was very helpful and happy to assist me.

Family Video-
They will give one free over night rental for every A. That would include homeschool report cards.
