Major Events

Parent involvement is not only absolutely necessary for making our little school as great as it is, but is social and fun, and teaches our kids that we think school is important.  We welcome all parents to feel free to click on an event's contact person's name and send them an email.

FUNDRAISERS:

INNISBROOK GIFT WRAPPING

Whether you bake, donate your old stuff or volunteer to work the sale , all parents can help with these fun events.  Each event is hosted and staffed by volunteers to be determined at the time of the event.   If you are interested in baking or staffing the event, please contact Tim Lynch, a 1st and K grade parent.

ANNUAL AUCTION
In addition to being one of our big moneymakers, it's also a fun and glamourous event . Every year employers, businesses , parents & friends donate things to be auctioned off at the beautiful Chanterelle restaurant . The more great donations parents solicit the more fun and exciting the auction will be. Parents also help serve the delicious Chanterelle fare and wine. This event is scheduled for March 9th! Additional items will also be available on an online auction.  Outbid other bidders online eBay style.  If you are interested in helping with this year's event, please contact the co-chairs Lisa Jordan and  Hans Anker PreK and 1st grade parents.
