Subway gives back with School Rewards *Review & Giveaway* (Closed)

by Tanya on November 9, 2009

in Closed Contests, Product Reviews

sweetonionchickenteriyamd7We live in a small town. When I saw small, I say tiny. We have a junky fast food place and (you guessed it) a Subway. You would think my 4 year old would want to go to the fast food place to get a kids’ meal, but where does he want to go? Subway! I never got in to Subway until I met my husband. I thought it was all greenery, plain sandwiches (can you tell I am a meatatarian?), but boy was I wrong! For the last 7 years that I have been with hubby, anytime we travel and need to grab a bite on the go, we always stop at Subway. Sometimes I will get a sandwich that is lower in calories like a ham and cheese on wheat or roast beef on wheat, but here and there I will splurge and get a Subway Chicken Pizziola Sub. I know.. I know. Over 400 calories in one sandwich, so when I desire it, I do still count it for my calorie intake for the day.

Another thing that I LOVE about Subway, other than the drooling Chicken Pizziola Sub, is that Subway gives back. I am very active in my community’s schools, so anything I can do to help, helps them and it makes me feel great knowing I was able to help out. Subway has a new program called “School Rewards”. SUBWAY now rewards you for dining with them! Simply load any SUBWAY card with any desired amount and go online to link it to your child’s school. Your school will then receive a percentage of your purchases to be used however they wish! If you are active Subway visitors, this is a great plan for you to help give back!

The great thing is that anyone can participate…give teachers, Aunt Sue or Grandma a pre-loaded and pre-linked Subway card for the holidays and they can give back to your school all year long! Share the info with your PTA, the football coaches and anyone else that can help you champion this healthy and worthwhile initiative at your school!

What is a great holiday git idea? Who doesn’t love food gift cards? We have been buying for holiday gifts and have already purchased a few Subway cards to add to our loved ones’ gifts.

Sure, we all know who Jared is, that is a huge weight loss spokesperson for Subway. When it comes to child obesity, we all want the best for our youth. With my Subway kit, I also received a Random Acts of Fitness Kit. This is so awesome! I can use it, but I thought it would be better to send it on to my local school, I donated it to our local school so that they are able to help combat child obesity in their classroom. This cool curriculum helps kids learn to be healthy and active throughout the year! For more information, please go to www.subway.com

I do not accept monetary compensation for reviewing or writing about products. I only review products that I have personally tested and used in my home, and all opinions expressed are my own.

I don’t even have to ask my child to be active. ADHD. That kid will be watching a show on TV and ask to use the elliptical. She breaks out a sweat playing Wii. It’s exhausting just watching her.

6 Jennifer Jozwiak December 2, 2009 at 11:36 pm

My little one isn’t school-age yet so i keep myself active by pushing her in her stroller.

7 Gianna December 2, 2009 at 11:13 pm

Bike Riding and outdoor games :)

8 Phyllis Jenkins December 2, 2009 at 11:07 pm

10 Jay F. December 2, 2009 at 11:04 pm

We live about a quarter mile from the in-laws, so we get the kids to walk there on a regular basis. (We can also walk to Subway!)

12 Kathy Rambousek December 2, 2009 at 10:46 pm

My boys love being outside and I really don’t have to even encourage them. They ride bikes, climb trees, play tag….

13 DanV December 2, 2009 at 10:38 pm

We stay active by going to the park

14 Chrysa December 2, 2009 at 10:37 pm
15 Chrysa December 2, 2009 at 10:36 pm

16 Sue December 2, 2009 at 10:36 pm

17 David W December 2, 2009 at 10:36 pm

We play faimly games, hide and seek.

18 Deb Anderson December 2, 2009 at 10:29 pm

The Wii has been the best thing I’ve bought the kids in years. They actually love playing the more physical games and it lets them indulge their video game habit but really keeps them active. Love it!

19 Sand December 2, 2009 at 10:29 pm

I don’t have any kids yet but I keep active by using the treadmill and workout dvds.

20 Veronica Garrett December 2, 2009 at 10:18 pm

I don’t have to get my kids motivated. They are eager to sign up for sports such as soccer. We have always did outside active activities as a family.

21 Charlene Kuser December 2, 2009 at 9:17 pm
22 Charlene Kuser December 2, 2009 at 9:14 pm

We play games like hide and seek,Twister,and musical chairs.

23 Amanda Galloway December 2, 2009 at 9:09 pm

During the warmer months, I think it’s great to have outside activities that are readily accessible for kids such as a badminton net or a basketball hoop. And a trip to the park is always fun. When it’s colder out, I think the Wii Sports & Wii Sports Resort games are great family activities.

24 Debra F December 2, 2009 at 8:35 pm

My boys are involved in a lot of activities…sports, cub scouts, and such, and they are always active!

25 Kerrie Mayans December 2, 2009 at 8:35 pm

My kids are involved in indoor soccer year round a few times a week which keeps them active and fit. They also are in swimming lessons in the winter since we have more free time then to go to the indoor pool in our area.

26 Brian E. December 2, 2009 at 8:30 pm
27 Brian E. December 2, 2009 at 8:29 pm

Thanks for the giveaway…We strictly enforce a no TV / video game ban during the school week, so the kids either play outside or are engaged in supervised after-school sports related activities.

28 Kristin December 2, 2009 at 8:19 pm

I make sure we walk through the neighborhood often!

29 Annemarie December 2, 2009 at 8:10 pm

37 Annie @ Mama Dweeb December 2, 2009 at 6:56 pm

I have a 2 year old daughter and to stay active we go for walks to check the mail – this is quite a trek being 1/4 mile long driveway!

38 jessica December 2, 2009 at 6:34 pm

I think games like Wii are great for the winter days. They can stay active while they stay warm and cozy inside the house.

39 Dawn R December 2, 2009 at 6:32 pm

We go to the park, A LOT! The kids love to play tag and when I’m “it” we all win! Tons of running around and I get nice, tired kids in the evening.

My daughter is not in school anymore, but when she was she was on the school basketball team and was on our town’s recreation soccer team, which has fall and spring seasons. My father and brother were the head coaches and I was an assistant coach. She was extremely active.

45 Kristy December 2, 2009 at 6:06 pm

I don’t have school aged children but I think that parents should allow kids to play outside… They get so much exercise running and jumping and just being kids.

46 Mir December 2, 2009 at 6:00 pm

My daughter is not of school age yet but we try spend some time outside every day, even if it is just a 30 minute walk in not so good weather. During nice weather we are out there much longer than that. We have also signed up at the Y and participate in what they have to offer.

47 Justine December 2, 2009 at 5:31 pm

64 Betty December 2, 2009 at 1:46 pm
65 Betty December 2, 2009 at 1:45 pm

My “children” are all adults but when they were smaller it was ice skating outside and fun games like charades, hide and seek, or Twister inside.

66 Angela December 2, 2009 at 1:06 pm

76 Linda Stewart December 2, 2009 at 10:56 am

We turned our garage into a play room and the way it is designed there is tons of open space to run and play. When all of the toys are picked up and put in their proper place there is room for Lil Man to ride his tricycle and little 4 wheeler bike around.

77 Alexandrea M December 2, 2009 at 10:45 am

I don’t have school aged kids now, I don’t know if that disqualifies me. In it’s place I’ll post how I keep my husband active during cold weather. I make sure he goes out to help me with yard chores every weekend to rake, trim, and keep moving.
I put a treadmill in another room with a TV so he will use it while he watches football without too much prompting.

We have a big back yard and go out there nightly to play outdoor games.

83 Patrice December 2, 2009 at 10:11 am

Helping out in the garden and with yard work is always great exercise. And it is rewarding for the kids to see things growing.

84 Dottie December 2, 2009 at 9:28 am

When I do my excersizes via DVD, my daughters join me.

85 Rose O. December 2, 2009 at 9:20 am

We love to be outside playing when the weather permits. If it is too cold, we play our Wii Fit game to stay active.

86 Jan December 2, 2009 at 9:18 am

Keep youngsters occupied by always having paper and drawing materials handy. It’s a great outlet for creative minds and everyone is an artist.

87 Tiffany S December 2, 2009 at 9:16 am

My son isn’t school aged yet but we spend lots of time running around the house, playing. He loves chasing me. Which for now, is all he needs. Thank you!

Love Subway! Gift me please!!

90 Crystal F December 2, 2009 at 9:14 am

I have a 9 yr. old daughter and 5 yr. old daughter. The nine year old is really into softball. She plays it 9 months out of the year with games and practices atleast 4 days a week. My 5 yr. old is full of energy. She’s always running a round doing something. I probably don’t make them do enough physical activity at home though and I feel bad about that. They can’t go out and ride their bikes like we did when we were young. I need to get them into more activities and I’m going to look into that. Thank you!

My niece is four and we keep her active as much as possible, even when we’re getting her dressed we make it a game by chasing each other around with socks and being silly, it makes boring tasks fun too.

106 Cathy R December 1, 2009 at 5:53 pm

My daughter isn’t school-aged yet, but I keep her active (rather, she keeps me active) by playing around the house in her walker, lots of tummy time, and recently by trying to help her support her weight standing.

109 alejandro December 1, 2009 at 5:18 pm

110 Kimberly December 1, 2009 at 4:56 pm

114 damon December 1, 2009 at 2:51 pm

They have a routine.
1) Homework
2) Chores
3) Outside if it’s nice out- free time if not (till dinner)
4) After dinner – shower
5) Pick clothes out for the following day, get lunches and back packs ready, ect.
At night, it’s board games, YV, video games, or whatever.

115 Laura P. December 1, 2009 at 2:22 pm

I don’t have children (yet) either. However, my nieces keep active by using the trampoline or swings…also the they go for walks with the dogs.

116 Denyse December 1, 2009 at 2:03 pm

Inside, we do crafts. When it’s nice I send them outside and they play with the neighborhood kids.

117 katiea December 1, 2009 at 2:01 pm

Sadly, nobody is very active in my house. That will hopefully change when my son gets a little older and can actually do stuff (he’s 4 days old right now), but for now, we’re all just fat lazy blobs of goo. :(

118 Jennifer Hedden December 1, 2009 at 1:46 pm

I try to keep them involved in school sports.

119 sally wess December 1, 2009 at 1:43 pm

my kids are older now, but we used to keep busy by baking, ats & crafts. mostlt a&c they are both very talented so it was definately easy.

120 Susan Ledet December 1, 2009 at 1:26 pm

My son is grown and in college but I do have 3 nieces and 2 Godchildren. I keep them active by letting them run around the park or beach, playing ball and swimming. They all love to be outside (thank goodness) and I practically have to drag them back inside. No problem here with getting them active.

121 Deb Armus December 1, 2009 at 12:55 pm

143 Kathy Scott November 30, 2009 at 6:25 pm

When they first get home from school, the have to jump on the trampoline, shoot some hoops, kick a soccer ball, or something after having sat most of the day at school. We are also involved in sports.

144 michelle robbins November 30, 2009 at 6:14 pm

I teach special needs students. We walk laps indoors and keep track on a large map of how far we’ve “walked”.

145 Annette E November 30, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Luckily, we live in the Phoenix area so we’re able to stay active outside almost every day. My kids love to hike.

I have a first grader, who is 6 years old, and two non-school aged boys (3yrs & 6mos). We keep our oldest boys active by encouraging them to play Wii sports games & taking them to an indoor play-place that our museum has when the weather outside is awful. On good days we take them to the park and play tag! We also remind them (and show them) how important exercise is; they do yoga and kid fitness videos. :)

My kids are all gone from home but the grandkids like to play Twister if they can’t go outside. One of them got a musicalgame for Playstation and they like to dance alone with the one who is dancing. The older kids are learning to two step. We love Subway and would loive to win this.

For our grandchildren, it works best if we listen to them and do something that meets their interest instead of trying to entice them to do something we think is best.

My school aged cousins that I take care of love video games. So to keep them active we play games that require movements like Dance Dance Revolution or many of the fun interactive Wii games!

155 Skye Devoe November 30, 2009 at 1:51 pm

I have 2 boys and try to keep them active. We ride bikes, bounce on the trampoline, play baseball, and are outside as much as possible in the warm weather. In cold weather, we ice skate and sled. Indoors we dance!

To stay active we crank up the music and dance our hearts out. We pretend to play instruments and dance like rock stars. It is so much fun. My boys 4, 2 and 5 months love it! It is such a great stress releaser too.

While my kids love to use the computers and watch TV, I like to get them outdoors doing some gardening, swimming and playing with balls and frisbees in the summer. In the winter, it is harder- but they do go sledding, have snowball fights and build snow forts if not too cold…and my teen son gets to shovel the walkway :)

My kids go outside no matter what the weather is like. They are also actively involved in karate, ju-jitsu, and gymnastics all year round, and skiing in the winter. We also tend to walk and hike a lot, and bike whenever we are at the trailer. We are an active family and the tv rarely gets turned on in the summer.

Pretty much if I’m willing to join in, my kids are happy to be outside staying active. If I offer to ride bikes with them, they jump at the chances to circle around the neighborhood a few times. If I offer to kick the soccer ball, they are out the door like a shot. As parents, we really can influnce good healthy behavior if we are willing to modify our own. It’s hard, but worth it.

My kindergartner enjoys soccer but doesn’t love it. She wants to enroll in gymnastics so we’re looking into that. In the meantime, she’ll continue with her weekly swim lessons.

Thanks for the opportunity to win and for the program details.. I passed the information about the program along to our PTA!

It’s easy for our teen to stay active, he’s in basketball, and our tween is in dance, but when it gets cold outside, and boy does it get cold outside, we have to become more inventive for me and the baby (my husband works outside and is always active). We purchased a ball house for our little one, and that keeps him and mom on the move in the basement, and it’s a lot of fun! We also bike together as a family when it’s not too cold out, which it isn’t yet.

This is actually something I’m trying to figure out for the winter months. My oldest is in Pre-K and they play on the playground if it’s not extrememly cold and play in the gym if it is extreme weather. Here at home, he and his younger brother have a playground closeby and a swingset in our backyard. We will do those until it’s extremely cold. Once it’s very, very cold a couple of the malls have play areas and Chick Fil A has an indoor playground too:)

We just got a new puppy in the house so there is one way to keep the kids active, just trying to keep up with that little bundle of energy. We also have a swings and a slide that the girls like to use and the oldest is always asking to ride her “two-wheeler” (bike) because she like to go fast.

I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old….one of the big draws when we bought our house was the HUGE backyard–there is plenty of room to run and play without me panicking over someone running into the street. To help make sure we all take advantage of it, we also never got cable/satellite/DVR when we moved in–the TV picks up nothing but PBS!

319 Gail Crawford November 13, 2009 at 12:37 am

I keep my kids active by shooting basketball with them.

Thankfully we live in a climate that is mild enough that we can get outside year round, if only for a few minutes. We try to go for walks or hit up our local park. In bad weather, sometimes I park outside to clear out room in the garage for bicycle riding, etc. Thanks for the chance to win.

340 heidi bokor November 12, 2009 at 1:08 pm

My daughter is five and very active. She LOVES to play outside (and that’s an understatement)! If she ever acts up or does anything bad, all we have to do is threaten to take away her play time outside and she acts straight again! She runs all over the place. She loves jumping on her trampoline. And she has a dance-mix/ballet class every Saturday! I think she is active enough for the both of us sometimes! Thanks for the giveaway.

My kids are grown, and the grandchild is only 9 months old, so we haven’t needed to work on ‘what to do if..’ recently. However, they always liked board games when they were small.

355 Kate November 11, 2009 at 10:51 am

My kids are 2 and 4 and to keep them active in the cooler months I put on music and we all dance around and have fun. They love it and it is a great workout for me too.

My son is a Cub Scout so we stay active by participating in all types of events like hiking, camping, & play for fun sports. My son also enjoys running around outside with the little boy next store. Then there is the park and other places that we like to go to during the warmer weather. Then of course we play the Wii. Definitely a great way to stay active through the colder months.

We keep our kids active by doing as much as we can, inside the home and out. We walk to school instead of driving. We walk a lot of places instead of driving. Not only is it fun family time, but also is a great stress reliever to walk.

My girls are big into tag. We play freeze tag with a twist. Everyone has a soft ball and if you get froze someone can unfreeze you by touching you or hitting you with a ball. Body shots only.

Don’t have children of my own but as a public school teacher for 35 years I make sure

dances learned during the year.

Thank you for the contest.

My little sister and i discovered a nearby Dogpark where we can let our dog run around and meet other dogs!
Now we bring the whole family–even grandma. Our dog especially loves it, while theres a great play area with slides and bars for the kids benches and picnic areas for us to sit and chat.

Seriously check out if your community has one!
these parks are great for dog lovers to just the family getting together~

I have a 5-year-old God-daughter. She likes running around wherever she is, appropriate or not, so she’s active on her own. LoL. When she visits, my sister and I sometimes take her and her brother to the river to feed ducks. She enjoys throwing the bread as far as she can.

We play soccer at the park, walk the dog, walk to the library, ride bikes. Just going to the park gives a lot of exercise in walking there and back and running around and playing once we’re there.

I keep my school aged kids active by enrolling them in extracurricular sports.

383 Diane R. November 10, 2009 at 4:55 pm

It doesn’t take much to keep kids active. I am the daycare person for my two grandkids and all it takes is turning off the TV. In a few minutes they will be peppering me with balloons or balls to get a game started. They be digging up all their musical instruments so they can dance, or we will be chasing soap bubbles around the yard. Most kids are naturally active if they are not allowed to become addicted to passive TV watching.

384 Lindley November 10, 2009 at 4:31 pm

I have 2 teenage boys. If it snows they still love to go out and build forts and have snowball fights with the neighborhood kids. But for other times we have exercise equipment in the basement that they can use (treadmill, exercise bike, 6 station weight system, etc.). The younger one also plays indoor soccer and basketball. So they don’t slow down in the winter.

We have a small breezeway that attaches our house to our garage, and I let my daughter run around in the covered area when it’s raining. We make sure to go to the park each weekend, and if it is too wet outside, we dance around the living room.

438 sandra November 10, 2009 at 7:23 am

No school aged kids at this home :(

but there once was… we always tried to do at least one thing a day outside. If we took a bike ride or a walk there was always something at the end of the journey, like the library, or the park and yes occassionally the ice cream shop. Or in the colder days, it was snow shoveling and snow fort making and cocoa with marshmellows in front of the fire afterwards. Think kids (and adults) need simple “rewards”

455 Stephanie V November 10, 2009 at 12:06 am

The older kids play soccer but we take walks together as a family. When it rains, we will try to go someplace where we can walk indoors, like a mall.

I do not have school aged kids, but my nieces and nephews stay active by participating in sports likes soccer and basketball, and by doing chores like snow shoveling and vacuuming.

I don’t have any school aged kids however we have quite a bit around us and they all stay active by just playing outside. They keep themselves very busy!

I don’t have any school-age children, but when I was working at a daycare, we would constantly have games inside as well as outside. They seemed to love “Water Day” where we would spend an hour or so, playing water games and throwing water on each other.

I don’t have kids but I’m usually with one of my nieces or nephews each weekend. We make sure that we go to the library to get a couple of good books and there are plenty of games and toys to play with to have fun with in the winter time here.
