Dear Parents,

There are many projects that we need to accomplish this year at school which fall outside of the traditional annual budget. As a result "we are going to need your help on January 25^th" to kick off our biggest fund-raising campaign of the year selling the Community Fundraising Books – a book of coupons worth well over $1,000 in savings!

We chose Fundraising Books because they are the EASIEST items to sell and because they will save you, your family and friends hundreds of dollars just by supporting this fundraiser.

As an example: If we sell 2,200 coupon books and each parent, relative, neighbor and friend uses only "15" coupons over the next year from the fundraising books than each supporter will save roughly $100.

Out of "100" offers if you only used these "14" Coupons you would save:
Stevi B's + KFC + Old House Restaurant + Subway + Jungle Jumpers + Loco's + Sonic + Ci Ci's + Papa Johns + El Centinela + Firehouse Subs+ Popeyes + Chick-fil-A + Play-N-Trade = $122.89 in Savings

Since this is a school fundraiser let's do some simple math:
2,200 Books x $122 in Savings = $268,400 in savings to the families and friends of Statham Elementary while raising the school $13,200 for the school improvements listed below.

As a result everyone wants to buy at least one book for each car! There are amazing savings from all of your favorite Statham, Winder and local Athens restaurants and there are some pretty cool entertainment offers as well.

Best of all, our school will earn a full 50% PROFIT!! The Fundraising Books sell for only $12 each and our school earns $6 for every book sold. With your help - if every child sells only 3 books each, we can exceed our goal of $12,000 and make some major school improvements.

We will be using the money to purchase the following:

• Smart Boards

• Educational Software

• Document Projectors

• Classroom Performance Systems

• Additional Classroom Supplies and Materials

This is what the items that we will be purchasing look like:
Smart Boards	Document Projectors	Classroom Performance Systems

Fundraising Dates
January 25, 2010 thru February 5, 2010

The end date for our Fundraising Sale will be February 5^th. This gives us two full weeks to sell the Fundraising Books. All money and unsold books must be returned by this date. Please return all money and unsold books (we know that there will not be any) in the provided Numbered Ziploc Bags in which you received the books.

All checks must be made payable to Statham Elementary.

This year we are going to try to reward every child and parent for participation in our coupon book fundraiser with an Extreme Prize Program. Here is how the prize program will work:

1.   Each child that sells “3 or more” books will receive a pass to a family fun night at Jungle Jumpers by the Winder Airport. We want every child to win this prize so that they can play for 2 full hours with their friends – parents can JUMP with their kids or just relax and meet other parents!!!

2.   At each grade level (K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 – that is “6” pizza parties) the class that sells the most coupon books will win a Papa John’s Pizza Party!!!
