Goodfellow students rewarded for 'Making the Grade' Published Oct. 12, 2011 GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- In a recent editorial by Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Robert L. Gordon III, he wrote, "a high-quality education is consistently ranked as one of the top priorities for military families with school-aged children." Understanding the value families at Goodfellow place on education, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service offers a unique rewards program that continues to receive high marks from students and parents alike. Now in its 11th consecutive year, "You Made the Grade" recognizes students who achieve a "B" average or better with a benefits-filled booklet with exclusive offers. Students who made the grade can also register for a drawing to win a savings bond worth up to $5,000 by filling out and mailing an included entry form. "It is important to recognize Goodfellow's superior students," said the Exchange's General Manager Sue Roy. "To be able to maintain academic excellence despite adversities such as moving regularly or having a parent deployed shows the resolve of these students as well as the quality of their teachers." To receive a "You Made the Grade" booklet, students simply present a valid military ID card and proof of an overall "B" or better average at the Goodfellow Exchange. Students may receive one coupon package for every qualifying report card, but may enter the savings bond drawing only once per calendar year. FMI: Goodfellow Exchange at (325) 655-5789.
