Innisbrook Wrap – Let’s Wrap It Up
We are in our final week of our fundraiser.  Orders are due in Monday, Sept. 22.  If you have collected all of your orders, feel free to send the form back in the Wednesday envelope this week.
We want to remind everyone of the internet ordering system as well.  It is fairly easy to use and if you order $75 or more you can have it shipped directly to your house.  It is a great way to reach out to those family and friends who don’t live near you but want to help your child with their fundraisers. The internet also has items available that are not listed in the catalog.  Make sure if you only order through the internet to send in a form to the office with your child’s name, teachers name, and number of items ordered so that your child may receive the correct prizes based on items ordered.  You may also email Mindy Etheridge the information as well.
If you have any questions, please contact Mindy Etheridge, 630-963-4893, or email mattsmom_96@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your support of our first big fundraiser of the year for SJA!

To all 1st grade parents,

We are quickly approaching the biggest 1st grade celebration of the year with All Saints Day. With that in mind, we need your help. We have purchased material for the traditional All Saints Day Quilt and we will need some donations to help pay for all of the quilt materials. Please send donations (cash or checks made payable to St. Joan of Arc) in an envelope with this letter marked 1st grade quilt c/o Eileen Allen, your child’s name and room #.

We also need 2 volunteers to take photos of each child in the library before the ceremony begins, and another 2 or 3 to decorate the altar for the ceremony on October 30th. If you are willing to donate your time or talent, please indicate on the form below.

Thank you again for making their big day a success!!!
