Save the Date! Monte Carlo Night is Coming
|
|
Inspiration Academy Lions Booster Club is proud to present our 4th Annual Monte Carlo Night Fundraiser Friday, October 18, 2019. Our 2018 event raised enough money to qualify for a Pittsburgh Pirates matching grant to install new bull pens this year. We funded Inspiration Academy club sports for golf, flag football, soccer and Lacrosse. The boosters also paid for the hotel rooms for our baseball team to attend the state tournament which we won for the second year in a row. As always Monte Carlo Night also funds our end of the year tennis and baseball banquets. Once again, our event will be held at Gold Coast Eagle Distributing, 7051 Wireless Court, Sarasota 34240. This year we are still looking for more Sponsors for this riveting event. Please consider a donation to our biggest athletic fundraiser of the year!

upcoming calendar in detail.Teacher Treat day is also on Friday. Please send in brewed coffee/k-cups, baked goods, or a breakfast/lunch item. Snacks can be dropped off at the front desk in the morning.
Save the date for "Family Dinner Night" at Chipotle on Wednesday, October 16th. This is a Pride fundraiser and funds made will be used towards Teacher Appreciation Week in May.
Monte Carlo Night is right around the corner. It is a great night of fun with food, fellowship and raffle prizes to win, all while benefiting our Boosters Club.
October also brings Homecoming Week. This is one of the highlights of the year for our kids. Please check the breakdown of daily activities that SGA lead by Mrs. K, have worked so hard on creating.
You will not want to miss the LipSync Battle or the Family Picnic! We will need a lot of parent support this week to assist with the many afternoon events that they have planned.
Many Blessings,
Sabrina Ullmann, Lisa Hodo & Parents Pride
