A Chinook Book, direct to your doorThis is a win-win-win for you, for sustainable local living, and for Graham Hill Elementary. Chinook Book is a coupon book that supports local businesses and gives straightforward and simple ideas about improving health and reducing impacts on the environment. Coupons are easy to use: for food, services, and fun family activities. A couple trips to the grocery store pay for the book — the rest is gravy (local, organic, cage-free gravy). Please take a look at the Chinook Book website for a listing of all coupons. Each book sells for $20, and the school receives $10 of that. Cash is fine, or checks made out to Graham Hill PTA. Just email me: moc.liamtoh|nalpttocs#moc.liamtoh|nalpttocs I'll bring it to you. Thanks. |
