PTF Discount Card Sales

We are giving you the opportunity to sell Parent-Teacher Fellowship discount cards to all your family and friends to raise money for the PTF. PTF discount cards are $10.00 each. They have many local savings and across the country savings (per website). Each family that sells five (5) PTF discount cards will receive a family adventure pack which includes:

• A free Chattanooga Zoo ticket
• Free Superfly Jump Park ticket
• Additional free PTF savings card
• Your child's name will be entered into a drawing for a free year's membership to the Chattanooga Zoo (any card already purchased this year will count toward the 5 cards)

The top sellers from elementary, middle, and high school will each receive $50.00 worth of gift cards, and the top seller from Preschool will receive a new bike! For every family that joins, your child(ren) will receive a dress down day on Friday, September 30th. All homerooms with 100% participation will receive a pizza party. With your help by joining and supporting the PTF last year, we were able to donate $12,000 for the new playground, purchase new water fountain inserts, along with all grade level classroom needs and MANY more contributions.

All orders must be turned in by October 7th
