This year Alton Elementary School is selling a wallet size discount card that has unlimited discounts to a variety of merchants in the surrounding areas. We hope you will consider taking part in this unique opportunity that will benefit the students at our school by allowing us to purchase items for our PBS store (incentives for positive behaviors).
The discount cards are customized to our community. The card is basically several coupon promotions all printed on a single wallet-sized card. The cards will have an expiration of August 31, 2020 and can be used repeatedly by the buyer during that time.
Our goal is for every student to sell at least one card. We are selling the cards for $10 each. The more cards that we sell, the more money we raise for our school.
The cards can be purchased from any Elementary student and they are also available in the elementary office. Card sales begin tomorrow (9/6). If you have any questions, please contact us at 417-778-7217.
