For the past 15 years Inland Center has helped 20 local elementary schools each year in their School Cents program which runs from August through May and rewards schools for receipts and participation in mall-sponsored community events. The mall has, in total, given over $170,000 to local schools. Last Wednesday, the School Cents Awards Ceremony at Inland Center Mall handed out over $11,350 to 20 local schools including: The First Place Winner St. Adelaide Academy who received $2,000, Second Place Holy Rosary Academy, Third Place Our Lady of the Assumption, Fourth Place St. Catherine of Siena School and Fifth Place Norton Space & Aeronautics Academy. Those who also competed were Anton Elementary, Hillside Elementary, Soar Charter Academy, Gateway Education Center, Wilson Elementary (San Bernardino), Abraham Lincoln Elementary (Colton), Mt. Vernon Elementary, Thompson Elementary, Birney Elementary, Highland Grove, Woodrow Wilson Elementary (Colton), Redlands Adventist Academy, Calimesa Elementary, Bradley Elementary and Yucaipa Christian School. These schools also participated in mall sponsored events such as Inland Center’s "We’re Sweet On Soldiers" which sends Valentines and supplies to soldiers overseas. Schools handmade 10,415 Valentines and donated 5,592 supplies to Inland Center in partnership with Blue Star Mothers H.O.M.E. Valerie Holmes, Chaplain from Blue Star Mothers, gave each of the participating schools certificates at the Awards. In addition, these schools participated in an e-waste recycling program and turned in over 56,000 plastic bottles to be recycled with monies to be donated to the Childhood Cancer Foundation. “The School Cents program continues to help local schools with much needed supplies while at the same time benefiting the community and bringing awareness to the mall. We’ve been very privileged to work with such outstanding schools that truly help our children grow,” stated Terri Relf, Senior Marketing Manager of Inland Center Mall. The 2013-2014 program was sponsored by Macy’s in San Bernardino.
