You could have no school fees, free school pictures or don't pay for your book fair books!! > > / --- --- x Points of Interest * Christmas Classic * Grocery Specials * Home Hardware \________ J This is how the program works: Come to the elementary office or call one of the contact people to purchase your Magrath Trading Company and/or Scenic Square IGA vouchers. You pay face value for all your vouchers and they are as good as cash. No restrictions, use it on sale items or even on 10% Tuesday. The Trading Company vouchers can even be used in the hardware. . The Trading Company and IGA will pay the school 10% for all the vouchers it sells. The first $50.00 of profit (or the first $500.00 of Vouchers) per family goes to the School Council to help with running our school. Such things as the the cubbies, assemblies, sound shells, play grounds and many other things are done with this money. The remaining vouchers that are purchased go into an account for the use of your family. You can use it to pay school fees, school pictures or even books. So if a family of four goes through $5,000.00 a year on grocery and hardware purchases. That means that you would have raised $500.00. $50.00 would go to school council and you would have $450.00 in an account that you can use for any of your childrens expenses over $20.00; such as school fees ecL The money you bank is non-transferable to another family and will go to school council when your children graduate or move. No Kids that's OK. When you purchase your vouchers just tell us which family you would like the money banked to. If you don't have a preference where the profit goes as long as it is used for the school ust let us know and We will put it intoa special account that will be under the direction of school council for many other great projects or help out where needed. > Cheques payable to: MES Vouchers > > > 758-3819 758-6303 758-6248 Inside this Issue: Community 1-3 Sports 4 Classified Ads 5 Calendar 6 Grocery Specials 7-9 Hardware Specials J If you have any questions feel free to call Lance or lull Miller at 758-6248.
