Coupon Book Update

It was brought to my attention this morning that one of the coupons in the KidStuff Coupon Book has already expired, which leads to the question - How many other coupons are invalid or about to become invalid?

I went through every coupon this morning and the ONLY coupon to expire in 2012 is the Witch's Wood coupon at Nashoba Valley.

All other coupons expire in 2013 and the majority (95%) expire on 12/31/13.  The others that expire earlier are activity coupons that are seasonal. For example Pat's Peak (skiing) lift ticket - expires closing day spring 2013.

If you have any questions about this please contact Catherine Gillespie at cwegillespie@comcast.net or cell 617.290.5968.

New Fundraiser

Today in your child's backpack is a personalized yellow plastic bag with a KidStuff coupon book inside. This is a new PTO fundraiser for Pine Glen. 

Here's a quick run down on how this fundraiser works:
  
*Books have been sent home by family.  Each book has been labeled with your child's name. The coupon book has a ton of wonderful coupons, which can be used through-out Massachusetts.  

*Coupon books are $25 each.  The PTO receives $12.50 for each book sold, which will be put toward the Pine Glen Family Fund.  The book pays for itself almost immediately.  There are great coupons for shops at the mall, restaurants, as well as Roche Brothers. There are also activity coupons for museums, pottery places, bowling, skiing and The Lowell Spinners! 

*The yellow flyer explains how the fundraiser works.  If you want to buy the book that came home with your child, using the provided money envelop, send cash or a check (payable to the Pine Glen PTO) back to the school.  If you'd like to order additional books, using the money envelop provided, indicate the number of books and the edition or location requested.  For use locally, use MASS.  If you have family in the other regions listed you could order a book for them.  Please check the back side of yellow flyer for a complete list.

*If you are not interested at this time, please send the plastic bag with the coupon book enclosed back to school.

If you have any questions, please feel free to direct them to Catherine Gillespie at cwegillespie@comcast.net or cell 617.290.5968.
