It's time for the...Innisbrook Fall Fundraiser for the Costa Rica Exchange Program!
What is it? A selection of gift wrap, paper supplies, gourmet goodies, and magazine subscriptions. By ordering now your purchases will support the 7th Grade Costa Rica Exchange Program.
What can I do? Place an order for yourself or share the catalog with your friends and family.
When? Orders can be placed until Monday, October 19th. You will be able to pick up your orders during parent/teacher conferences in November.
Why? We need your help! The 7th grade raises a large amount of money every year so that every student – regardless of financial circumstances – can participate in the Costa Rica trip. This effort also helps fund the Costa Rica pen pals visit to Philadelphia in 8th grade.
How to place a catalog order:
1. Take orders from friends, neighbors, colleagues and family. Fill out an order form for each person placing an order. Have people make checks payable to GREENE STREET FRIENDS SCHOOL. Do NOT collect sales tax.
2. Go to INNISBROOK.COM, choose “Parents and Students,” and select “Enter Catalog Orders from your Worksheet”
3. Enter the Greene Street code: 106242.
4. Set up your username and password, and register your child as a seller so s/he gets credit for sales.
5. Enter your orders online through the EZ link. You can do this as you go or all at once. Each time you go back in, you can update the order with new items.
6. When you finish entering your orders, you will print out a voucher with the total payment due for everything ordered. Submit that payment (multiple checks are fine - please write checks to Greene Street Friends School) with the voucher to the Development Office at GSFS. Please keep your order forms so you know who gets what when your items arrive in November.
How to place an online order:1. Go to INNISBROOK.COM/user/106242 and create your account.
2. Enter your student's name under "Seller" in the check-out.
5. Forward the email to your friends and family. They order, paying with a credit card, and their order is mailed directly to them.
In addition to your order, you can also sell Innisbrook products in two ways:
Catalog Sales: You take orders, collect payments, and distribute your orders when you receive them in November. No shipping charges for buyers! Catalog sales end on October 19th. To be more environmentally friendly, catalogs were not sent home this year. If you would like a catalog, please e-mail Ilana Goldfus at igoldfus@greenestreetfriends.org.
Internet Orders: Buyers go online, order, pay with a credit card, and have products shipped to them directly. Shipping is just $7.50 (or free for orders of $125 or more!)Internet sales can continue to be placed after the October 19th deadline, but we recommend you still order by then to ensure you receive your items before the holidays.

About the Costa Rica Exchange Program
Now in its 13th year, the Costa Rica Exchange, led by Spanish teacher Sandra Rodriguez, is a two-year program is designed to integrate curriculum, language, science, service learning and social studies. Seventh grade students travel to Costa Rica to experience Spanish language immersion, gain knowledge of Costa Rican history and experience Costa Rican culture first-hand. Eighth grade students host their pen-pals from Costa Rica for two weeks in the fall.
Each year the seventh grade class raises funds to ensure that all students can participate, regardless of means, and to ensure that exchange students from Costa Rica are able to visit Philadelphia.
