It's time for our Innisbrook Fundraiser!!!
[click to learn more]

We will send the sales packets home with students Friday, September 17th and they are due back September 27th. Profits from this fundraiser are used for field trips, teacher stipends, and special programs (like Shakespeare in the Schools and Firehouse Five), so remind your customers how much they help our school when they buy from Innisbrook.

Don't forget to use the online ordering option if you have internet access. Each student can set up an onlie account for distant friends and relatives to participate, too.

It's an amazingly simple process--details are in the sales packets.

Happy Fundraising!

FREE FAMILY FUN on FRIDAY

If you're looking for something fun to do with your family tonight, we're holding a free family dance/ ice cream social at our church on Main & Summit Street (up the hill). You and your family are certainly welcome to come! [In the interest of full disclosure, I am the Activities Chairperson at church, but I gain nothing but new friends if you come --JamieM]

FIRST DAY of SCHOOL PHOTOS

Our new school year is in full swing! We've already had our first PTO Meeting and set up committees (see notes below), and we've got some fun pictures of the first day of school to share. Got some fun pictures you want to share? Do you have a note of congratulations, recognition, or appreciation to share? Good ideas? Send what you want to share on this blog to jamiemelin@msn.com and we'll get it posted.Mrs. Welch and students ready to start the day
