During the school year, our students participate in a large number of activities, and fundraising helps offset the cost of the activities. There are several ways you can help. Conn Elementary PTA participates in several fundraising activities, both “passive” and active. Start collecting and send them in with your student to give to their teachers.
Innisbrook:Our main fundraiser for the school year, the fundraiser starts on 9/19 and ends on 10/3. Look for more information in the upcoming weeks!
Good SearchWhat if CONN ELEMENTARY earned a donation every time you searched the Internet? Or how about if a percentage of every purchase you made on-line went to support our cause? Well, now it can!GoodSearch.com is a Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up! GoodShop.com is a new on-line shopping mall which donates up to 37 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, ebay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you’ll be supporting your favorite cause.
