City Saver Coupon Books
The Symmes Elementary PTO is getting ready to kick off the City Saver Fundraiser next week. Last year was our first year selling the City Saver Books and it was a huge success! Your child will be coming home with a City Saver Book on Tuesday, October 29th. Your family can purchase that book or if your family is not interested in keeping it simply return it to school. If your child wants to sell additional City Saver Books to friends, family or neighbors he/she can use your family’s book as a reference. If someone would like to order a book, your child will collect the money and receive the books in their backpacks to be distributed.
There is also a code in the book that connects to an app and enables you to receive double the savings. These discounts on the app are updated throughout the year. The savings include thousands of dollars in discounts from more than 160 area restaurants, attractions and shops. Any child that sells just one book will receive a lanyard and an Aqua Coop. Last year the children received collectible Space Coops. There are opportunities to earn special Aqua Coops, short stack coupons from IHOP, Adrenaline Play Passes, a free book and more. Our goal is for each child to sell just five books. The PTO will be collecting orders until Friday, November 8th.
Thank you for your continued support of Symmes PTO.
