The HSA is running a fundraiser to sell KidStuff Coupon Books from November 1st – 15th. The coupon books are full of money saving coupons for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Many of the the coupons are child/family-oriented. The books make great gifts and also are great to have on hand for holiday shopping savings. Use just a few coupons and easily save more than the cost of the book.
The books sell for $25.00 each and the school will earn 50% profit from every book sold. There are many regional editions of the book, so you can sell to friends and family in several other states and they will receive a book specific to their area.
This week every student will come home with a coupon book and specific instructions about the fundraiser. Please note: The coupon book you receive is NOT a free sample. If you do not sell the book, it must be returned to your child’s teacher.
Please contact Kate Davis (70greenbean@sbcglobal.net) with any questions.
As always, we are grateful for your support of our school!
