 Innisbrook Packets Sent Home Today
This fall, the Parents’ Association is sponsoring an Innisbrook wrapping paper fundraiser. Packets were sent home today to each family in the school. North Cross School is the only school in Roanoke selling Innisbruck this year, so the Parents’ Association is confident that this will be a highly successful fundraiser to make purchases that enrich the experience of students at our school. Deadline for orders is September 26 and orders will be fulfilled in mid-November. More information about the program will be shared at Parents’ Nights over the next few weeks. Jeanne Fishwick is the PA rep in charge of this fundraiser and she will be happy to help you if you have any questions.
