Innisbrook

Budgeted fundraising Goal:  $20,000

With 27 years helping schools raise funds, Innisbrook gift wrap and chocolate sales are at the center of Stratford Landing’s Fall fundraising.  For every item sold, Stratford Landing shares 50% of the sale.  That accounts for a significant return for Stratford.  Although the fall fundraiser has a limited time frame for orders, you can place an individual order with Innisbrook at any time, use the SLES school account code 101546, and SLES shares in the sale – this makes Innisbrook a year round fundraising partner.

Scholastic Book Fair

Budgeted fundraising Goal:  $4,000

The Stratford Library sponsors a Book Fair each year held to coincide with National Children’s Book Week.  The Fair gives students and their families the opportunity to shop for the latest titles from Scholastic in the school library. 

The library staff and PTA volunteers set up the books to be sold, help all of the students come through and preview the books and make “wish lists,” and help with three days of sales.  The proceeds of the Fair benefit our school library and our reading room.  The teachers also have the opportunity to make a wish list for their classroom libraries, with books available for purchase to benefit the teachers and their students.

To volunteer, contact Elizabeth Drembus at drembus4@verizon.net
