Pius X High School is selling the Lehigh Valley “Enjoy the City” coupon book as a seasonal fundraiser. Your child has been given a book to bring home so you can see its exceptional value, its extensive concentration on local merchants, and its exclusive offers!   This book has businesses you actually frequent, and it has coupons with offers you actually use. In addition to purchasing the book for your own use, we hope you will share the book with your family, friends and co-workers. They will thank you for helping them save money too!  Once the book is shown, it easily sells itself!  It makes a great gift for:  

  • Teachers, bus drivers, postal carriers, newspaper carriers, friends, family etc.
  • Christmas, birthday, thank-you gifts, that “hard to buy for” person

What’s in it for Pius? 

Pius X High School will receive $10 profit per book sold! Proceeds will be used to purchase new lockers (with profit from grades 7-11) and for a senior class trip (with profit from grade 12). 

What’s in it for you?

  • For every 5 books sold, receive one free
  • Top student seller in each grade will receive a $50 gift card from choice of Aeropostale, Best Buy, Cabela’s, Gap/Banana Republic/Old Navy, or iTunes. (In the event of a tie for top seller, winner will be chosen by lottery.)

++++If you go to the website, http://www.enjoythecity.com/, you will see that there are many editions of this book available for regions throughout Pennsylvania and the U.S. If you would like to order an edition other than our local Lehigh Valley edition, just note that on the order form. 

All books and orders must be returned by December 10. Books will be delivered to you the week of December 14. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Lisa Kelly at 610-588-3291, ext. 303 or email lkelly@ptd.net
