 This year, Subway of Alaska focused its
partnerships on two lucky schools: Abbott
Loop Elementary and Susitna Elementary.
In both schools, reading time is booming,
staff morale is skyrocketing, and discipline
referrals are plummeting. The impact of
Subway’s partnership is obviously undeniable!
Coupons for free Subway sandwiches,
platters, and Fresh Value Meals have proven
to be motivational incentives. Susitna
students have read over one million pages,
earning coupons every step of the way.
Subway’s support of each school’s reading
program makes a notable difference in
student achievement.
The coupons are also used to reward
good behavior and citizenship. At Abbott
Loop, students are given tickets when
they are “Caught Being Good” or “Caught
Eating Healthy.” Each month, five tickets
are drawn and the winners receive a free
Subway lunch with the school’s principal,
Robin Pfannstiel. Subway also provides
certificates, Fresh Value Meal coupons,
and medallions to seven students each
month (one child per grade level) to support
Abbott Loop’s “Citizens of the Month”
program. Over at Susitna, Principal Paul
Wieneke reports that discipline referrals
have been cut in half for each of the past
two years

The Anchorage School District adopted
a Wellness Policy in 2006, and Subway
actively supports it. Susitna students and
staff keep Healthy Future Logs, and each
month five students and two staff members
are awarded with certificates, medallions,
and Healthy Meal Deals. Winners are
selected based upon completed fitness
logs and regimens. Each month, the top
fitness class also receives a certificate or
trophy.
Subway employees attend monthly ceremonies
to personally distribute awards.
They also help with special events, such as
the science fair, and are active members
of the PTA. Subway supports fundraising
efforts in both schools, and has proven to
be an incredibly generous business partner.
Both schools have agreed to make
Subway the sole food product provider
and partner. They hang Subway banners in
their buildings and print the company logo
in school newsletters. Students show their
appreciation by creating artwork and thank
you posters to display in local Subway restaurants.
In all, over 900 students and nearly
100 staff members directly benefit from
Subway’s partnerships. Many thanks to
Chris Wilson, Vice President of Subway
of Alaska, and all the Subway employees
who have given so much to both Abbott
Loop and Susitna!
