Innisbrook Fundraiser - Final Days
|
Thank you for your participation in our gift wrap and chocolate fundraiser!
Congratulations to the students who have already earned the Minion key chains. There are only a few days left to sell products. Remember, the money raised allows us to fund our wonderful intern program.
Here are a few things to keep in mind the last weekend of the fundraiser:
- Please return both order forms and full payment to the Normandale office or send with your child to give to his/her teacher by Monday, October 5. The order form will be returned with your products for distribution in November.
- If multiple children in your household are combining their sales to achieve a higher level prize, please submit all orders under one child's name.
- Minion prizes from Levels A - D will be distributed weekly throughout the sale. Please fill out and return the coupons included in the sale packet to the Normandale office in order to receive them.
- Share the link with out-of-town family and friends so they can order online. The seller's name should be entered during checkout.
The sale will not be extended this year due to new order system. Orders will be available for pick-up on November 12.
If you have any questions please contact us:

| Coat Drive Reminder |
Reminder: Don't forget to bring your gently used coat to school now through October 9. Pilgrim Cleaners will clean them and distribute them to local charities. We will have a drop-off box near the office.
Not only is this a great way to unload your clutter, it's a wonderful way to get your kids thinking about giving to those in need.

The following service stations will be set up in the auditorium for those who volunteer:
We will also be doing a food drive the week of October 19th - 23rd. Kids are encouraged to bring non-perishable items to school during the week. The Food Group will be providing drop off barrels that will located throughout the school.

Don't miss the biggest fundraising event of the whole year! Last year we had a lot of fun while raising a lot of money to support our fabulous French intern program. Visit the Pinstripes fundraiser site for all the details. Here are some ways to get involved and help us raise funds: DONATIONS ARE NEEDED FOR SILENT AUCTION, MYSTERY BOXES & SPIN THE BOTTLE
We need lots of donations to make this year's event a success. Some ideas include: kids activities,
getaways (travel/hotel), restaurants, spa or salon, technology items, services, art, event tickets, golf, etc. Or, let us do the shopping for you! Monetary donations appreciated & welcome. Submit your donations here.
HOST A COMMUNITY CONNECTION
This is a great way to build new friendships and make connections within the Normandale community. Each Community Connection is a scheduled social activity for a limited number of individuals to attend. We encourage hosts to choose a favorite hobby or activity to share with others. Click here for event ideas and to get involved.
Merci beaucoup for your generous support of our school!

| Normandale Neighborhood Network |
The intern Neighborhood Network is all set and ready to go!
What is it?
The Neighborhood Network (NN) is a resource for our interns to reach out and ask the Normandale community for rides. Just in time as we start to feel that chill in the air!
If you've signed up to be a part of the NN in SignUp Genius or at the school open house in August, you are already on the list. You will start to see requests from interns in your e-mail soon.
Want to join in the fun? Click here to be added to the Normandale Network request list. If each Normandale family gave just ONE ride a year, the interns would feel fully loved by all our families. And your family wins as well: get to know who is working at your child's school while sneaking a peek at what the 20-something crowd is up to these days.
There's more! In addition to the traditional e-mail requests, the Neighborhood Network is also on Facebook. If you're on Facebook and would be open to taking ride requests via a private group page, find us at Neighborhood Network for Edina Interns and ask to join. Consider also using this page to post places you're headed (like MOA on Saturday afternoon) - maybe an intern would love to catch a lift!
And one last thing...You can now find all the interns' email addresses on the MySchoolAnywhere online directory. You can find them by either searching their name by family or by classroom. Feel free to reach out and welcome them into your home for dinner or bring them along on your next family outing!
Merci to all for your kind support of our interns so far this year!
