It will take a few days for your registration to clear. But once you are registered, you have instant access!

 SHOPAROO APP
Shop - Snap - Upload - Earn. To get started, download the Shoparoo App and select SJA School. Shoparoo will donate to SJA when you shop at any store, snap a picture of your receipt, and use the app to upload it to Shoparoo. The upload takes mere seconds on your smart phone. SJA will earn nearly 1% of all grocery purchases. Click here for more information or to download the app.
