Innisbrook News- The Innisbrook fundraiser for the Old Bonhomme PTO has concluded. We are thrilled to announce that we exceeded our goal in both Innisbrook sales and the resulting profits that will go directly to the PTO. Our sales were over $5,000, and our PTO profit is approximately $2,400. Once all the payments are in, we will know the exact amount made for the OBPTO. To all who participated in this fundraiser, THANK YOU!! We tried Innisbrook as a replacement for the Entertainment Book fundraiser which has typically been held at the start of school each year, and we are very happy with the Innisbrook results. Your purchases will be delivered to the school in the first part of October, and we will communicate to you in early October the dates and times for product pick-up. We know there are a lot of efforts underway to raise funds for the OBPTO, and we appreciate whatever you choose to give, in whatever way is best for you and your family. Our OB School Community is AMAZING and so supportive of the PTO and its efforts. Thank you again for supporting the Innisbrook fundraiser and helping us surpass our goal. All proceeds will go to provide the great arts field trips, school events, performances, and activities for your children and our teachers that the PTO funds.
