Get Free Pizza, Free Oil Change and Help Support Fayette County Schools

“Free” is a word that gets lots of attention these days. The word means even more when it helps support Fayette’s schools and students.

Get a free Papa John’s medium, one topping pizza and a free Firestone Complete Auto Care standard oil change, no purchase necessary at either location, when you buy a $20 Enjoy the City coupon book. The Fayette County Education Foundation is selling the coupon books at the school system’s board of education office, located at 210 Stonewall Avenue in Fayetteville. These free coupon offers, along with numerous “buy one, get one” free deals and discounts from popular restaurants such as Johnny’s New York Style Pizza, La Hacienda, Sonic, La Parrilla, and many others are included.

Families can also enjoy savings on entertainment like “buy one, get one free” Atlanta Braves game tickets and free general admission to Zoo Atlanta with the purchase of a ticket. There are many discounts on services such as car rentals, dry cleaning and hair care.

Proceeds from coupon book sales benefit the Fayette County Education Foundation, which provides teacher mini-grants to fund innovative classroom projects that enhance learning. The foundation has given nearly $174,000 to Fayette’s public classroom teachers during its seven-year history.

These are tough financial times for everyone. The foundation wants to help the community save money on food and services while also helping the county’s teachers get what they need to continue offering their students the best educational experiences possible.

The Fayette County Education Foundation is nonprofit organization and is a cooperative effort between the school system and the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce.

Help Fund Classrooms And Save Money - Enjoy the City Books Half Price

This year Fayette residents have been enjoying the many discounts and buy one, get one free deals offered by local businesses through the Enjoy the City coupon book. Now residents can save even more money while helping teachers bring innovative academic lessons and projects to Fayette’s students.

Starting in June, residents can purchase the books for $10, half off the cover price. For every book purchased, $5 will go directly to the Fayette County Education Foundation to help fund grants for teachers of the Fayette County School System. The books are on sale at the board of education office as long as quantities last.

Since 2002, hundreds of teachers have received grants to implement dynamic lessons and projects such as cooking food in chemistry labs to demonstrate chemical reactions, sewing literary quilts to reinforce a theme or point made by a famous author and sponsoring American Sign Language classes before and after school to help students better understand and interact with deaf and hard of hearing classmates. Projects such as these open the doors to learning for many students by capturing their attention, appealing to their interests and tying what they learn to real life.

These lessons have all occurred in Fayette’s classrooms and are just a sampling of the educational innovation happening throughout the county, but none of these projects would have been possible without the support of the Fayette County Education Foundation.
