We are so excited to kick off our Innisbrook Fundraiser!! Be looking for the packets to come home on Wednesday, August, 28^th.

FAQ’s

1.     How can my child participate in the Innisbrook Fundraiser?

Your child can sell online at www.innisbrook.com or show their catalog to friends, neighbors, family, etc. Please do not sell door-to-door. Think Safety!

2.     Selling, collecting money and delivery - how does it work?

·        Online orders are paid by credit card at the time of purchase and are shipped directly to the customer. No money to collect, no items to deliver, no forms to send to school. Innisbrook prizes will be delivered to school and distributed to your child in October. IMPORTANT!! If the order includes chocolates the entire order will be delayed at Innisbrook’s discretion until cooler weather. However, it will arrive in time for holiday gift giving.

·        EZ Orders* will have one check made out to Paine PTO for the total and are shipped to school. There is only one order summary sheet to print out and one check to turn in on September 12^th. Please include your order summary number on the check. Products (including Innisbrook prizes) will be delivered to your child’s classroom mid-October. You will be notified when the products arrive. Parents must come to the school to pick up large orders. No large boxes will be allowed on the buses. Items must fit in backpack’s to be allowed on the bus.

*Once you register your student on www.innisbrook.com, EZ Order, School Code (101123), then you will be asked if you would like to email friends or relatives about this sale. Any emails that you send will create a direct link for your friends and family which will give your child credit for that sale. You will receive an email if friends or family order through your link.

·        Handwritten catalog orders will have individual checks made out to Paine PTO, turned in no later than September 12^th and shipped to school. PLEASE MAKE A COPY OF THE FORM BEFORE YOU TURN IT IN!!! We do not have access to these forms after September 12^th. For handwritten orders, please double check the addition and include all checks. You may wish to write one check for all your orders and collect the money individually.

*NOTE: Please be aware if an item says “Available Online Only” they cannot be ordered for delivery to the school.

ALL CHECKS MUST INCLUDE STUDENT NAME AND TEACHER IN THE MEMO LINE

3.     What about prizes?

Innisbrook Prizes: All Innisbrook prizes are cumulative this year and Innisbrook prizes will be sent home with products when they are delivered.  We are pleased to provide Husky Prizes this year.  Please see the Husky Prize coupon sheet and send in those coupons as prize levels are reached.  Husky prizes will be awarded each Friday of the sale.

We will have a GRAND PRIZE of a PUMP IT UP party for any students that sell over $250 in merchandise. This will take place in Trussville during school hours.

4.     Can we opt out of the sale and still get a prize?

Yes, for ANY Husky Prizes you can donate ½ of the prize amount and receive a Husky prize, for example if you make a $37.50 donation your child will be eligible to attend the Kona Ice Party on September 18^th during school hours a donation of $75 and your child will receive the stuffed husky dog prize.  Also, you make a donation of $125 or more your child will be welcome to attend the party at PUMP IT UP during school hours.

Thanks to the combined funds of TCS Board, our PTO fundraising, and the Boosterthon Fun Run, we were able to build a new playground for our students.

A goal for the upcoming year is to build a garden for all students to enjoy.  We want to incorporate gardening and botany in our studies for all students.  Presently, our GaTE students have six gardens in this area where they grow various vegetables.  See the drawing below of our future vision for the P.I. garden.  

Presently, we have six square foot gardens between the third and fourth grade wings.  

Thank you in advance for your support of our PTO fundraiser!
