“In a town as vibrant and connected as West Orange, we’re always looking for ways to bring our schools, families, and local businesses closer together,” said Superintendent Hayden Moore. “The Welcome Back Perks Program is a fun and meaningful way to support our small businesses while getting our students excited for a new school year.”
There is no cost for businesses to participate in this inaugural year. All that’s required is the creation of a special offer or discount, which can be tailored to fit the business’s needs and capabilities. Offers can be as simple as a small percentage off, a free item with purchase, or a school-themed promotion.
