Kroger Community Rewards Card – (Enroll or Re-Enrollment)

If you have a Kroger Plus Shoppers Card, you can sign up the Forney ISD Education Leadership Foundation to receive funds every time you shop or purchase gas at Krogers. Last year the foundation earned nearly $10,000 through the Kroger Community Rewards Program. Signing up the foundation through your Kroger Plus Shoppers Card is simple. Just follow the simple steps below and the foundation will begin earning money the next time you shop at their store.

1.       Go to the Kroger Community Rewards webpage at the following link: https://www.kroger.com/communityrewards.

2.       Click on the “Sign In” button and enter your email and password that you set up for the program.

3.       Once you are logged in, click on the “View Your Rewards Details” button.

4.       Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “Enroll” or “Re-Enroll” button under the Community Rewards section. (If you have not set up your rewards card yet, you will need to do that first).

Unfortunately, the Kroger Community Rewards Program must be renewed annually, so if you signed up the foundation last year, you will need to “re-enroll” the foundation again this year.

Thank you for your continued support of the Forney ISD Education Leadership Foundation!

Foundation Thanks North Forney High School Staff for Donations With a Shrimp Boil Lunch

Members of the Forney ISD Education Leadership Foundation recently hosted a lunch for all of the teachers, staff members and administrators at North Forney High School. The lunch was the foundation's way to say 'Thank You' to the teachers and staff members at North Forney High School for their donations during the 2014-2015 Forney ISD Employee Contribution Campaign.

In September of 2014, the Forney ISD Education Leadership Foundation held the Employee Contribution Campaign. Forney ISD employees donated more than $42,000 to the foundation to help fund student scholarships and teacher grants. North Forney High School had 100 percent participation in the employee contribution campaign and raised more than $6,600 for the foundation during the employee contribution campaign.
