Fundraising Opportunities
Fundraising season has begun at Innocademy & iCademy Global! Fundraisers are designed for your kiddo to earn money to put into his/her field experience account for overnight travel on some of the incredible experiences offered by both schools. Fundraisers are always optional and never required. Before break we rolled out our first fundraisers of the year, Marketplace & SaveAround Coupon Books. All 3rd-8th graders were presented with the information attached here and were sent home with the information for both fundraisers. If you have a Younger/Youngest friend (Young 5-2nd) and you would like to have him/her start saving for their overnight trips, you may participate in the SaveAround Coupon Book sale. Below is the information needed for both fundraisers.
Another fundraiser we offer is SCRIP. SCRIP at its core is a gift card fundraiser. You purchase a gift card from list of over 700 vendors and percentage of your purchase (2-20%) goes back into your child’s account for field experiences. This is a very short video about how SCRIP works. There will be an informational meeting on Thursday October 24, at 4:00 in the circle room, the small room at the top of the stairs. Please reach out to Ms. Jody at jody.voss@innocademy.com with questions.
